SELECTING THE TEA STRENGTH
The desired tea strength determines the brew
time. The correct brew time depends on the tea
type and your personal tea strength preference.
The Tea Maker™ has 5 preset tea strengths
recommended to achieve Strong, Medium or
Mild tea brews. It also features a customisable
brew time setting to suit your personal taste
(see Page 16, Customising Brew Time).
1. To select a preset tea strength:
a) Press the TEA STRENGTH
button and toggle through until
the desired tea strength – 'Strong',
'Medium' or 'Mild' illuminates.
b) The LCD screen will display the preset
brew time recommended to achieve
the selected brew strength for the tea
type selected. This is displayed as
the right figure on the LCD screen.
2. Press the TEA/Cancel button to start the
tea brewing cycle. The button surround
will illuminate and the LCD screen will
display 'ON' and the real-time heating
progress in increments of 5°C. Once the
water temperature reaches 50°C, 'ON' will
be replaced by the selected brew time.

NOTE
The ‘BREW TIME’ can be adjusted during the
heating process but ‘BREW TEMP’ cannot be
changed once the heating cycle commences.
To change the brew time press the right
ARROW UP button to increase the time,
or the right ARROW DOWN button
to decrease the time. The brewing time
can be adjusted in 30 second increments
up to a maximum of 10 minutes.
3. Once the selected brew temperature
is reached the assembled basket will
automatically lower into the heated water.
4. Once the basket reaches the bottom of the
glass jug, the LCD screen will indicate the
brewing progress, automatically counting
down in one second increments. This is
displayed on the right hand side of the
LCD screen.
5. At the end of the tea brewing cycle,
the basket will automatically rise to
the top of the glass jug to prevent
over-brewing. The tea alert
will sound three times.
WARNING
The tea basket is hot to touch after tea
is brewed. Ensure the tea basket handle
has cooled before handling.
