• To switch off the water container completely, turn the knob anticlockwise to its detent.
The signal light is extinguished.

container has boiled away. For this reason, always check that there is sufficient water
in the container, that the thermostat adjusting knob is in the right position and that
continuous boiling is prevented.
• For safety reasons, remove the mains plug after the appliance has been used.

6.2 Making tea the Oriental way in accordance with the "samovar" principle

If you wish to use the Mr. Tea as a "samovar" to make tea in the Oriental
manner, first place the steamer ring on the water container before heating the
water.
a) Black tea
• Fill the strainer (2) with tea leaves (approx. one teaspoon per cup) or put tea bags in
the teapot without strainer (1 tea bag for approx. 1 - 2 cups).
• Place the steamer ring securely in the opening of the water container, and the teapot
on top of the steamer ring. The base of the teapot is designed so that it precisely fits
into the steamer ring, hence guaranteeing stability. At the same time, the teapot is
pre-heated.
• Boil the water.
• Remove the teapot from the water container.
Caution: hot steam will escape! A small amount of condensed water may also
drip from the base of the teapot.
• Now pour boiling water over the tea from the tap. By lightly pushing downwards, the
tap opens and you can then withdraw the water. As soon as you release it, it closes
again. If you want to withdraw more water, to fill the teapot up for example, tilt the
tap lever backwards. When you push the lever forwards again the water supply will
be shut off.
• Add a maximum of 1 L to the teapot, up to the fill level mark (4).
• The more tea leaves or tea bags and the less water you place in the teapot, the
stronger the tea concentrate ("professionals" like their infusion to have 2.86 g of tea
per cup). It is better to use somewhat more tea so that a concentrate is actually
formed in the teapot.
• Replace the teapot with the tea concentrate on the water container. The steam rising
in the water container keeps the tea in the teapot at precisely the right temperature
required for brewing.
• After the desired brewing time, remove the tea strainer from the teapot and replace
the lid.
CAUTION: hot steam will escape. Use oven gloves.
• Next pour the required amount of tea concentrate from the teapot into your glass (to
taste) and then top your glass up with water from the water container. This will allow
you to vary the strength and taste of your tea.
