Why does it switch off before boiling

In answer to your question, it appears that you have a problem with the internal thermostat malfunctioning. When my pot reaches the boiling point, it turns off after 15 seconds. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase of the Braun WK200W Aqua Express. It has been a useful addition to my kitchen appliances since receiving it from Amazon. Note: do not overfill beyond the maximum level mark. Richard K

It stays on "Keep warm" for 60 minutes, then automatically shuts off. If you want to shut it off after the brewing phase and don't need it to "keep warm" just unplug it.

yes, it boils for about 5 seconds before turning off without any beep....however, I thought I was purchasing a rapid boil, which is not the case. Also, I don't like the fact that the interior base of the kettle gets a calcium layer that I see !...not thrilled with this purchase!

once it boils it clicks into keep warm mode. if you forget to turn it off, it turns itself off when water runs low. hope this helps.

Yes ... It shuts off automatically when the water in the tank is distilled. Since you cannot fill the boiling tank with more water than will fit in the jug, you will not have over flow

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, it is located on top of the handle---you depress the lower part (which lights up the upper part) to turn it on---when water is boiled, it turns off automatically.

The kettle shuts off when it's dry AND when it reaches the boiling point. Hope this helps.

Yes, when the water has come to a rolling boil and is VERY hot, the switch automatically switches to off.

You have to boil until it is clear. If it keeps activating and getting hard before you snap the metal disk it is defective.

The bottom red button is always on and controls the top blue LCD that shows it is heating before brewing. After brewing the the blue LCD can be turned off by pressing the red button but the red will always stay on to show that the maker is plugged in and ready to operate.

Honestly, it sounds like a safety precaution that prevents the kettle getting turned on when it's empty. A better solution, in my opinion, would be to always have an adequate amount of water in the kettle. In that case it would turn on, the water would boil, and then the kettle would turn off.

This was a gift for my Mother-in-law and she loves it and uses it all the time according to my wife. Four answers claim the pot shuts off when it reaches the boiling point.

Sounds like it is defective. It should boil for a short time and then maintain the temperature you set. I should not keep boiling.

There are three temp settings. The boiling stops at the preset temp. There is a reboil button as well. The operation is self explanatory.

When the cooking is finished there is a loud audible tone. You will want to be there to put the eggs under running cold water to keep them from overcooking (from the heat within the eggs.) It stops cooking when it runs out of water, but it will start cooking again when the unit cools off, so you manually slide the switch to off and unplug it.Here is the url to read the users manual. http://www.cuisinart.com/share/pdf/manuals/cec-10.pdf

Yes. The On/Off switch is located on the lower area of the handle, has an auto shut-off when the water boils, or you can flip it off sooner if you wish. Also, the switch turns on an indicator light (top of handle) when it in on.
