How does altitude calibration work?

Question: During calibration, my display showed a temperature below 212° F for boiling. Do I
have a problem with my brewer?

Answer: No. This is an ideal example of why you calibrate your system and shows why the
Brazen Plus brewer is unique. If it shows 208F for example, that indicates your system without
calibration would be off by approximately 2%. With our calibration process, once the system
beeps it recognizes the boiling point (according to altitude setting) and auto-corrects.

Question: After I set my elevation (which is 2000 feet), I can no longer set my water
temperature to 210°. I know water boils at 208°F at my altitude, but I thought the calibration
fixed it made my water boil at 212°F.

Answer: No, the Brazen Plus brewer cannot change the laws of physics. Water will still reach
the boiling point temperature of water for your elevation but it won’t be 212°F like at sea
level. It uses your boiling point during calibration to make the water temperature accurate.
The calibration sets the upper limit of the program two degrees below that elevation adjusted
boiling point.
