How does the kettle keep the temprature after you remove it form the base and return it? Once remover form the base everything seems to reset

I just set it back and retap the keep warm setting and on button again. I think it only keeps warm till its removed then u have to set it again. It jsut won't need to heat up again.

I am not sure what happens once you remove it. It either has battery to hold settings or everything shots off. It is in my mom home and i am not sure she uses any feature of it besides just boiling water. I may check if remember when next time I am there.

It's not meant to keep your water warm, only heat it up. If you want it to stay warm after you'll need a thermos.

It will go off but you can keep it hot by resetting but not starting to boil again.

Only when it is finished heating. You select the temp you want, and when it beeps to let you know it's done boiling, it will show the temp of the water. The temp display will stay on until you unplug it. Sometimes it's a degree or two off what you actually selected.

The kettle sits on a heating element. Neither the kettle, nor the heating element, have exposed coils. The kettle has what appears to be a plug in on the base that fits squarely into the heating element and it will automatically turn off once it has reached the boiling point which is a very nice safety feature. The kettle may be rotated on the element to divert steam when in the boiling process so that the steam will not damage the underneath of kitchen cabinets that can easily warp over time. Good investment and I highly recommend.

Me again. Just to be clear. The base has a center that inserts into the bottom of the kettle which then heats the pot. So the very bottom of the pot is the heat connection to the plugged in base. I cannot immerse the kettle in water to clean so not to damage the bottom portion. I just rinse and scrub the inside when residue builds up. I also add vinegar and water and heat the pot and let sit as another cleaning option.

You can lift the kettle off the base ( heating element) the base keeps the cord attached to it,but the Kettle can lift off and be moved correct. In other words the base has an electrical cord plugged into the wall outlet that is all one unit. the kettle sits on the base and can be lifted on and off.

The only problem I have had with the electric kettle is that the on/off switch does not stay on and now it has quit. I never have had problems with the base element.

It hits the temperature you programmed without going over it. If you want the temperature to stay constant at that level, then the kettle will turn on as soon as the temperature drops one degree, then turn off again as it hits the temperature you set. In my experience, it has been pretty accurate.

Switch on handle turns on power. Pops to off when temp is reached, boiling in our case. Light on base shows when power is on/off. Lever above light sets desired temp. We always leave this control at the highest setting to reach a boil for tea & coffee.

They kettle removes from the base, and the kettle bottom is flat. So you could put it on a trivet or something.

It's in the base. I wanted one with NO plastic. Hard to find. Here are it's problems: 1. the fill line is low and hard to see 2. it clicks off when it decides to click off after boiling hard otherwise you have to turn it off yourself 3. the filter they have in it makes the water go all over the place. #2 means the heat registration takes some time so maybe this will last longer than 2 - 3 years. But there is NO plastic. The base has all the information re: no immersion etc. This is the heating element. The heating registration is in the bottom of the pot. This is why it has to boil so hard to turn off. It's in the base. I wanted one with NO plastic. Hard to find.

I don't have the kettle any longer so I cannot answer your question. (Family member left it on stove.) :-( However, I did like the kettle and felt it the price was good.

have NO idea, as I said my kettle is NOT working anymore, will boil the water, but will NOT switch off automatically as it's supposed to. Certainly NOT the well made product of old from Russell Hobbs..........................:(

The bottom surface is flat. It is a metal plate that has been welded to the bottom of the kettle--also flat. I have an induction range and the kettle works fine with it. If the kettle should boil dry and overheat that plate may warp (happened to a friend). Otherwise the kettle is very serviceable. I use it daily.

Through the base that has a wire... The kettle sits on the base and and gets power through the contacts.

You pour hot water into it. The base is plastic. It is a tea pot, not a kettle.

You're welcome. I LOVE this kettle. Its got so many great features. Perhaps it will work for you. ;-)

Only heat water. Inside it has a metal base on the bottom of the kettle, and that is what heats up the water. I would imagine anything loose would damage the metal base and potentially ruin the kettle.
