Can the auto shutoff be disabled? I'd need to boil water for several minutes to sterilize it when traveling in countries with unsafe tap water.

Auto shutoff is a default function.I'm not sure whether I correctly remember, but if the top cover was not put on, the kettle didn't shut off automatically when water boiled, looks like contact point existed at the mating area.Let me double check.

This would not be right for you. You would need to bring the water to a full rolling boil and then start counting your minutes at that rolling boil. You would need to use bottled water in this or water you had sterilized and cooled. It just won't get hot enough.

Auto shutoff is on when you use plastic lid. Just remove plastic lid then you can boil water as long as you like. Just be sure you are not away from it.

As soon as the milk comes to a boil the pot will automatically shut off. It is very easy to clean unlike other tea kettles, it has a smooth metal on the inside.

No, there website says N/A. Also, Amazon should remove it from the automatic shutoff selection.

The automatic shutoff happens about 10 seconds after the water has come to a rolling boil, a nice feature to make sure the water is fully heated. It never fails to shut off after 10 seconds.

Yes this kettle has an automatic shut off feature. You can also keep it at the desired temperature by pressing the hold button.

Yes, Auto shut off when the water level is full. It even has a code that comes up on the display so you know it's off due to being full and not some other failure. This unit has the ability to drain through a hose so you don't have to use auto shut off if you have a drain available. Another feature is you set the humidity level you want (in % humidity) and it shuts off when you reach that level

I am not entirely sure but I think not. The hold goes off after a few minutes, I think. I have it set to hold sometimes, inadvertently set it that way I guess, and notice that it stays at the set temp for minutes at a time. But I am the sort of person who would let it boil dry and it has not happened so I am thinking it turns itself off after a time. I did just break the lid off though, which is a drag. Wish it were made with metal hinges rather than plastic.

Yes. I generally set a timer for about 17 minutes then turn it off myself, just because I don't want to forget and it doesn't have any sort of beeper. Once the water boils out it turns itself off.

I agree with the answers given by George Z. and Ron: automatic turn-off feature after 15 minutes might make leaving the machine "on" a moot point; glass-lined carafe getting cold overnight and then getting hit with VERY hot water automatically; no opportunity to quickly rinse the carafe with warm water before brewing. I would set up what I could the night before: put the filter into the basket, grind the beans and put them into a sealed baggie, but I wouldn't do the timer thing.

Not sure I understand the question. The auto shut off only activates when the coffee maker has finished brewing. And then you are free to make as many pots of coffee as you want.

When I turn my A10 on in the morning it takes 2 minutes for the boiling water sound to come to a complete stop because the thermostatic relay tripped the heating element off. I hope that is not too long a wait ;)

Hi,If you're asking whether one can use a standard outlet, the answer is yes. I have not had any issues with the kettle shutting itself off. I quite like the kettle.

You can use the auto stop if you want or turn off the coffee maker at any time. Auto stop us a cool feature to have if you ever forget to turn it off. I am not sure if if can be permanently shut off if that's what you're asking. I really love my coffee maker and it has options to also set it to turn on at a set time to make your coffee...great thing to wake up and the coffee is ready!

Yes it boils the water and auto turns off. The kettle comes off the part that is plugged in when done.

The switch will not turn off till the water is boiled, so if you take it off early and then put it back onto the base, it will continue heating. Just flip the switch off as you are pouring if you want it off. That's what I do!

No auto shut off. It has a simple on-off switch. But while it is brewing you can remove the pot for 30 seconds to pour a cup. Hope this helps
