Baby mode for a heating vessel

摘要

A heating vessel (18) is described for heating water in a baby mode. A selection means (704) is provided for entering the baby mode. There is a control means responsive to the selection means and a heating element (20) operable to apply heat to water held in the heating vessel. A temperature sensor (28) generates a temperature signal related to a temperature of the water. The control means is arranged in response to activation of the selection means, to switch on the heating element to heat the water to a boiling point that is sensed by the temperature sensor, and to switch off the heating element to allow the water to cool to a target baby-mode temperature. An indicator (702) is configured to provide an indication when the temperature sensor senses that the target baby-mode temperature is reached. Figure 1
