Kamjove Kettle *BEEEEEEEEEEP* *BEEEP*

[Alex]

So just got a kamjove v908 from DTH.

Its very nice and the pour is superb but I couldn't believe the beeping this thing does.

10-12 beeps in the first 30 mins of using it (LOUD as well) and I'd had enough so I popped the bottom open. Located the beeper on the circuit board and twisted that sucker off and smashed it up


Ahh now blissful silence and a great kettle. Very quite boil as well.

I bought This one

Interesting looking front panel

How does it work ?

If it is anything like my earlier model (which has a slider to select different temps with in a temperature range) then the amber push buttons will be used to toggle the setting!

but what temp is reached on the Oolong setting?

do you have to wait for it to cool down if you want a cooler oolong setting? though how far will it cool, because the description says it maintains a constant temperature

The setting on the left are re-boil settings. The kettle never stops short of boiling so if you set it to oolong (top one 90c) it will boil then once temp drops down to 90c it will reboil and keep doing that. Not the way I thought it would work but that's fine as I like water temp hotter then that for oolong.

It tells you the exact temp in C in increments of 1c so you know exactly where you are as its boiling. I just switch it off before boiling.....and then you can see the temp fall over time and its easy to know when you need to re-boil.

The major thing for me was the pour. I was using a classic western kettle with a huge fat short opening with a terrible clumsy pour.....this is like a micro fine laser beam in comparison....very nice and the boil is very quite. Its also 1 litre rather then my western one which is a huge 2.5 litre and I never even half fill that one. So its really nice to handle.

Nice kettle congrats! I have the world's loudest and most annoying beeping toaster. Guess I should send it to you. Ha!

You open that bad boy up and show him who's boss!

I've always used Kamjove kettles, but I too bought one of the beeping ones and absolutely hated it! It sounded like my alarm, which is not something I want to hear during a soothing tea session. I gave it away and bought a non-beeping version. I should have probably opened it up like you did.

[wyardley]

I did roughly the same thing, though I took mine out with a soldering iron.

[Alex]

The top of the beeper screwed off on mine, and off it popped leaving its empty base on the circuit board.

It was like a black drum with a with a hole in the top, and that section along with the disk of metal screwed off anti clockwise.

Thank you for that info. I'm going to get another one.

You realize that you've removed the restraining bolt, don't you?
Now there's nothing to stop it from heading out across the desert...

Alex, you seem to know your way around those buttons. Can you help me figure out which does what? Have you seen an instruction manual in english? It's all -ahem- chinese to me!

I've just recently purchased it, then I had to wait for a power adapter/converter from chinese to schuko, and now that it's finally here I'd like to know more about those buttons and labels.

Hi,

I bought this kettle a while ago and have been getting a white gunk on the bottom of the kettle. Also, after a session, all my gear is covered in white flecks. When I opened it there was a diagram of someone applying a powder of something to it before use. I live in London, so I thought it might be limescale.

Anyone know whats up?

[IPT]

Can you show a photo? I had a similar problem and it was lime scale. I bought an osmosis filter and it went away and the water tasted better as well.
