The temperature adjustment capabilities refer to the specific temperature values that can be programmed into the electric kettle. It's important to note that this refers to automatic adjustment, where the kettle turns off or switches to temperature maintenance mode once the desired temperature has been reached.
If this paragraph contains several options separated by commas (for example, “60 °С, 80 °С, 90 °С”), this means that this model has several fixed temperature options. However, there are also devices with
smooth adjustment, which allows you to adjust the temperature in steps of 5 °C, or even 1 °C; for such devices, the entire adjustment range is indicated here, for example, "60 — 100 °C".
The greater the number of temperature setting options available in an electric kettle, the more versatile it becomes, allowing for precise selection of the optimal brewing mode for various types of drinks. Here is a simple table of recommended temperatures:
—
white tea — 60 °C;
—
yellow tea -70 °C;
—
green tea — 80 °C;
—
black tea — 90 °C;
— rooibos, hibiscus — 100 °C (up to boiling);
—
baby food — 40 °C.
Of course, there are exceptions to such rules — depending on the specific type of drink.
...For example, some varieties of green tea can be brewed at 90 °C.A feature found mainly in thermopots and hot water dispensers. Recall that in such devices, water is supplied from a special spout at the touch of a button or lever (for more details, see "Water supply"). And
blocking the water supply is useful primarily for families with small children — so that a curious baby does not get burned by turning on the water without adult supervision. The method of turning on and off the lock is selected in such a way as not to cause difficulties for an adult and at the same time be inaccessible to a child; a typical example is the simultaneous pressing of a pair of buttons on the control panel.
The own
display noticeably simplifies and facilitates the use of the kettle. Most often, this is the simplest single-colour screen, capable of displaying 2 — 3 figures and possibly the individual special symbols — however, in this case, more is not required. The display is especially convenient when selecting and controlling the heating temperature — after all, it is much more convenient to navigate by specific numbers than by simpler devices like colour indicators. Actually, the presence of a screen almost 100% guarantees that this model is also equipped with a thermostat.
