RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Although all teas actually come from the same bush (camellia sinensis), their taste and type
vary according to their region of production, method of processing (different fermenting,
and drying processes and rolling techniques exist) and grade (whole or broken leaves,
fannings and dust).
– Green tea: Rolled dried leaves, which are chopped and lightly roasted to prevent them
from fermenting. Leave to brew for 3 minutes only. Green teas are subtle- flavoured, often
bitter, and very pale in colour.
– Black tea: Made from older leaves that are rolled, dried and fermented for a considerable
period. Brew for 5 minutes (or longer for Turkish or Russian tea). Gives a powerful taste
and a superb coppery colour.
– Oolong tea: Midway between green and black tea. Slightly fermented. Brew for 7 minutes.
Lighter in taste and paler than black colour.
Although purists drink tea plain, you may prefer to add cold milk to your cup before pouring
in the tea (with Indian or Ceylon tea), or add sugar and then lemon (with green or flavoured
teas).
CLEANING YOUR KETTLE
Unplug it.
Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.
„
Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the electrical
connections or the switch must not come into contact with water.
„
Do not use scouring pads.
CLEANING THE FILTER*
The removable filter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent them
falling into your cup when pouring. This filter neither treats nor removes the hardness of
the water. It thus conserves all the qualities of the water. With very hard water, the filter can
clog very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it regularly. If it is wet, put it under
a running tap, if dry, then brush it gently. Sometimes the scale will not detach itself; it will
then need descaling.
*depending on model
De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very
hard. Temperature detection in the kettle may be affected by limescale.
To de-scale your kettle:
„
Using white vinegar which can be bought from hardware stores:
– Fill the kettle with ½ litre of white vinegar,
– Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.
„
Using citric acid:
– Boil ½ litre of water,
– Add 25 g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.
