3. Press the “Start/Stop” button to start the program. The “Start/Stop” button illu-
minates red and the appliance starts heating. As soon as the pre-programmed
temperature is reached, a signal sounds and the button of the selected tea pro-
gram flashes. You may use the heating time for filling the tea filter with your tea
leaves or get the tea bags at hand.
Note
Adapt the amount of tea leaves to your liking. We recommend to start with 5 to
7 g tea leaves (approx. 2 heaped teaspoons) for each 500 ml of water.
WARNING:
When operating the appliance at high water temperature, hot
steam and condensate may escape from under the lid. This holds especially when
removing the lid. Additionally, the lid may be hot. Only touch the lid by the handle
and be aware of hot steam and condensate, when removing the lid.
4. Wait until the signal sounds. Remove the lid from the lid ring. Tea bags may the
inserted into the kettle without the provided tea filter. In this case, clamp the thread
via the lid. When using the tea filter, immerse the prepared tea filter into the kettle
by hanging the tea filter into the lid ring. If required, turn the tea filter on the lid
ring until it settles down in the appropriate groove of the lid ring. Replace the lid.
5. Press the flashing button of the active tea program. The runtime LEDs illuminate
and go out one by one, while the steeping time is running.
Important:
If you do not press the button, the signal will be repeated after 20
seconds as a reminder. The appliance will keep the programmed temperature for
approx. 10 minutes in total. Thereafter, the appliance will shut off with an acoustic
signal, to avoid useless energy consumption.
6. As soon as the steeping time elapsed (all runtime LEDs are dark), an acoustic
signal sounds again and the appliance switches to the keep warm function auto-
matically. The runtime LEDs illuminate again and go out one after the other during
the keep warm time (maximum 30 minutes). If the tea is still too light and weak,
you may decide to leave the tea filter or tea bags within the kettle for some addi-
tional time. To take this into account, a second signal sounds after 40 seconds.
7. Remove the lid by the handle and take out the tea filter or tea bag. After taking
out the tea filter, you should replace the lid. Do not forget to lock the lid securely
within the lid ring by turning it clockwise.
Important:
Ensure that the lid ring is installed firmly on the kettle and the lid is
locked securely. Otherwise, the lid set could fall down during pouring.
