Thermal safety cut-out
The pre-set thermal safety cut-out protects the heating
element from overheating should the appliance be
erroneously switched on without any water, or if the heating
plate is calcified. Should this occur, all indicators are
flashing. In such a case, the appliance must be allowed to
cool down, or must be descaled, before it is switched on
again.
Automatic switch-off
∙ Unless the 'keep-warm' mode has been selected, the
kettle will switch off automatically around 3 minutes after
the last operation.
∙ In the 'keep-warm' mode, it switches off after 60
minutes.
∙ To re-activate the appliance, place the container on
the base, or press the buttons WATER START/STOP
or TEA START/STOP.
Before using for the first time
∙ Unpack the appliance completely and remove all
packaging materials and stickers.
∙ To clean the kettle, boil (with the tea filter in place) and
discard the first filling of water.
Operation
'Silent' function
∙ If the Tea Strength button is pressed for more than 3
seconds, the beep signals are deactivated. In this case,
all acoustic signals listed in these instructions are also
switched off.
∙ Pressing the button again for more than 3 seconds will
cancel the 'Silent' function.
General remarks
∙ Connect the appliance to the mains. A beep signal is
heard and the current water temperature in the container
(≥ 20 °C) is shown on the left in the display.
∙ The appliance is in stand-by mode and ready for use.
The display goes out after 3 minutes of non-use.
∙ To re-activate the appliance, place the container on the
base, or press the buttons WATER START/STOP or
TEA START/STOP.
∙ When selecting temperatures below 100 °C, the
heating process takes place in steps, to ensure that the
temperature selected is not exceeded. In this case, the
heating phase will take a bit longer, but it also ensures
that the selected temperature is not exceeded, so that
the tea can develop its full aroma.
∙ If the current temperature inside the container exceeds
the temperature selected, the appliance cannot be
started.
∙ Temperatures below 40 °C cannot be selected.

Making tea
Preparing the appliance
∙ Remove the water container from its base and open the
lid. Take out the tea filter by its ring, pulling it up with
gentle force.
∙ Fill the container with water to the desired level,
observing the Min (0.5 l) and Max (1.0 l for making tea)
markings.
∙ Take off the tea filter lid and put the required amount of
tea into the filter. Replace the lid, pushing it down.
∙ Fit the filter to the upper part of the mounting in
the container, so that its arms securely enclose the
mounting.
∙ Close the lid and replace the container on the base.
∙ Start tea preparation either by programme selection or
individual setting.
