Herbal tea
CAUTION
Germs in herbal tea mixtures can repre-
sent a health risk if the tea is not brewed
properly.
►
Always pour boiling water over herbal,
fruit, rooibos and spice teas (loose and in
tea bags) and allow to infuse for at least
5 - 10 minutes! This is the only method for
ensuring that the tea is safe to drink!
►
Do not allow freshly brewed herbal tea
to stand for several hours.
In rare cases, herbal tea mixtures may con-
tain germs such as salmonella that are nor-
mally killed off when heated over a prolonged
period. If not properly brewed, they can be-
come a health risk, particularly for children.
Do not allow freshly brewed herbal tea to
stand for several hours. Although the germs
are killed off by the boiling water, the spores
in the tea can survive. These can germinate
in the warm water. Herbal teas are brewed
in the same way as black tea (see section
Black tea (page 18)).
Hot instant drinks
To prepare hot instant drinks such as instant
coffee, add the appropriate amount to the
cup. Subsequently pour hot water from the
Samovar into the cup.
After using
1. Switch off the appliance and pull the plug
out of the mains socket.
2. Allow the appliance to cool down.
3. Clean the appliance and the accessories
used as described in the section Cleaning
and maintenance (page 19).
Cleaning and maintenance
Before beginning any cleaning work, pay
attention to the safety instructions in the sec-
tion Safety precautions (page 12).
Cleaning
1. Empty the appliance after every use.
2. Clean the appliance with a damp cloth
and with a little washing-up liquid if neces-
sary.
3. Rinse the tank (15) and the accessories
used thoroughly with clear water and allow
them to dry.
4. The removable parts can be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
We recommend using INOX-METAL-POLISH
from BEEM for regular maintenance and the
removal of difficult stains from stainless steel
surfaces. The polish restores appliances to
their original shine. INOX-METAL-POLISH is
available in tubes and is suitable for pots as
well as for other objects made of stainless
steel, chromium, brass, copper, aluminium,
silver and also hard plastics.
INOX-METAL-POLISH is used in factories
for polishing stainless steel. You can obtain
INOX-METAL-POLISH from your retailer or
by phoning us or visiting our website at
www.beem.de .
Descaling
Depending on the frequency of use and
the water quality, the water tank must be
descaled roughly every 1 – 2 weeks.
CAUTION
►
When the bottom of the water tank is
scaled, the resulting heat accumulation can
cause damage.
To descale the water tank, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Fill the water tank (15) with a mixture of
water and a little descaling agent or vinegar
essence and allow the mixture to boil briefly.
2. Allow the descaling mixture to work for
some time.
3. Shake the tank a few times and then pour
out the descaling mixture together with the
dissolved scale residues. Allow some of the
descaling solution to run through the dispens-
ing tap in order to descale this also.
4. Rinse out with clear water and allow this
also to run through the dispensing tap.
5. Repeat the process, if necessary.
