Can you program this kettle to heat the water to 98-100 degrees every time or do you have to reset the temperature each time you turn it on?

It remembers the last temperature you set it to and will use that again the next time it is turned on.

The Factory preset temperatures are: 60C (140F), 80C (176F), 85C (185F), 88C (190F), 96C (205F) and 98C (208F). The Factory Default Temperature is 185F (85C). Once you manually set the temperature, it will always default to that temperature until you choose a different setting.

Once you set the temp., it remains at that set temperature until you change it.Even after you turn it off and then on again.

You only have to program it once. I have had mine set at 190 degrees since I have owned it. Unplugged it and it still keep the temp programed it. Nice product, have had no issues since I have owned it.

When you turn it on, it will show the last setting you used and proceed to heat to that temp... eg. if you take one of the presets and adjust a couple of degrees via the +/_ buttons to 97 degrees, that's what will be still set next time. You can't set temp any lower than 60 degrees though (or 140F). To get water to 115 degrees, you have to just watch it and remove the kettle when the display shows that temp.

Hello Heather. I don't recall but I think it is 10 degrees. I don't pay much attention to it because when I used a thermometer, it was way off anyway. Water would boil at the 190 deg setting which if I remember High School physics correctly, we'd have to be near the top of Mount Everest for that to be possible. I control the temperature by setting the temperature I want then adjusting the power setting down to maintain it where I want it. Maybe it's just the unit I bought, but the temperature setting is nearly useless.

The kettle heats up to the set temperature and the heating shuts off. It will display the temp for an hour as it cools down and then completely power off. The hold button will keep it at temperature for an hour and then shut off. After returning the kettle to the base during the hold feature, it will display the temp for seven minutes and then turn off unless you reactivate the hold feature.

When the kettle has finished bring the water to your desired temperature, it will automatically shut off the heating element. If you'd like the water to stay hot for longer, you can press the hold button on the bottom right of the panel, which will maintain your set temperature for one hour. After that time, the kettle will turn off the element and display the water temperature as it cools off. Personally, I always use the hold feature because I'm not just waiting right by the kettle.

I haven't programmed the unit. I just set the switch to either heat or cool, then the temp. I want maintained.

Not much. I measured it with a digital thermometer. Lowest setting was 175F, 1/4 way was 182, and the the middle setting actually boiled the water. So from middle on up is useless. It's hard to find a budget kettle with good temperature control. If anybody has better results, I'd like to know and I'll send mine back for a replacement.

The kettle comes up to temp and then stays there for a period of time... it automatically shuts off. You will love it!

Absolutely, the kettle does require about 15 - 20 seconds in between turning off and back on, so as long as you do not try to turn it back on before that time has passed you will be good.

The temperature control in the front is not marked with degrees but the unit does heat from warm to boiling. There is not a way to fix the dial in one position. Filled to the max 1.7 liters it is quite heavy so keep that in mind. The last Vitesse kettle I had lasted over 10 years and is still working.

There is a dial numbered from 1-10 to control the temp. I bought two... one worked and the other didn't. The working one works very well.

The device barely warmed the water up so I doubt theres much temperature control. I returned it, this item doesn't work. It might only work to heat water for a small sink.

I think it doesn't have to be reset. But overall this heater never worked for me to maintain the temp. May be mine was defective.

I don't think so. I think it just sets your desired temp for each segment of the program. Programming is easy enough though.

HItting the power button multiple times will turn the temperature on and off, but as long as the kettle is connected to the heating base a temperature will appear on the display showing the temperature ready to heat. But the device does not turn off unless disconnected from base.

Not sure, I heat my water with an electric programable kettle to be sure the water is the proper temperature for the various teas.

There are three levels for the temp (warm, hot, very hot). you just press middle of button and will automatic boil water to be hot. let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks and you have a nice day!

It heats the water really fast and after it beeps I hit the hold temperature button if I'm not ready to use it. Even if you could turn it on automatically it will just turn off after the water boils. It's a feature to protect those of us who walk away and let the pot boil dry.
