MAKE TEA
To make tea, after setting up the tea maker + kettle follow
these steps:
Heat Water
1. After adding cold water, select the button that
corresponds to the tea type of your preference by
pressing it one time.
Note:
During the heating process the tea button will
PULSE and the Stop button will be ON red.
2. When the water has reached the proper temperature, the
kettle will BEEP and the tea button will FLASH to let you
know it’s time to add your favorite tea!
Add Tea
3. Fill the tea infuser with desired amount of
tea (Figure 6). Taste of tea is personal, but
for most tea types it is recommended to
use 1 tsp to 1.5 tsps. or 1 bag per cup of
water. We suggest you follow the tea supplier
recommendations for optimal results.
4. Open the tea infuser lid by turning it, so the
arrow lines up with “open” mark.
5. Place the tea infuser into the infuser holder
by lining up the infuser handle with the kettle
handle. (Figure 7)
6. Gently press ingredients down with a spoon
to make sure they are fully immerse in water
during the steeping process.
7. Add the lid on top of the tea infuser and to lock this lid
turn it until the arrow lines up with “closed”.
Set Steeping Time
8. To set the default steeping time, press the same button
again.
9. Once the steeping time is completed the kettle will beep
and lights will flash indicating it’s time to remove the tea
infuser. It is recommended to remove the tea infuser to
avoid over steeping the tea.
10. Press the same button again to set the keep warm mode.
Note:
Kettle can be removed from base anytime during
keep warm mode for use but should be returned to
base to maintain the keep warm functionality. Once the
water has cooled slightly, the unit will turn on and off to
maintain the temperature warm. For your convenience
the unit will automatically switch off after 60 minutes.
11. If you do not want to set up the keep warm mode simply
press “STOP”.
12.Tea is ready, pour and enjoy!
CUSTOM STEEPING TIME
To set custom steeping time, replace step 8 with:
8.a. Press same button again, then one time for each minute
you want to add. When done the kettle will beep once for
each minute of steeping time you selected to let you know
the setting.
For example- if you want to steep for 4 minutes, press the
button 5 times. 1 time to enter custom mode + 4 times for
the 4 minutes. The kettle will beep 4 times.
KEEP WARM MODE
The Tea Maker + Kettle incorporate a keep-warm function,
which maintains the tea at a pre-determined temperature for
60 minutes and water for 30 minutes. The keep warm feature
is ideal for different tea steeping, family breakfast and
cooking.
The keep warm feature will not boil the water.
