Tips
■
Please always heat/boil fresh cold water.
■
Black teas, herbal- and fruit tea blends should
always be brewed with boiling water.
■
For Green Tea, the water temperature should
approximately be 80°C in order to avoid that
too many of the bitterns get released in the
infusion.
■
In case of bad water quality, we recommend
you to use still mineral water.
■
The right brewing time decisively influences
the effect and the taste of tea.
■
After 2 to 3 minutes, tea acts as a stimulant on
the central nervous system and
rather mild aromatic, not too acerbic, taste.
■
After 4 to 5 minutes, tea has a calming effect
on your stomach and gut. Moreover, the tea

tastes strong and a bit more acerbic.
■
Herbal- and fruit tea blends should brew for
8 to 10 minutes, in order to unfold their full
flavour/taste and their pleasant effect.

Lime filter
The removable lime filter prevents lime scale being
poured out.
Dry running and overheating protec-
tion
This unit is equipped with a dry running and over-
heating protection system. If you ever operate the
unit without any water or with too little water, the
unit shuts itself off. Wait a moment until the unit
has cooled off. Fill the unit with water and con-
tinue as usual.
Lift-off shut-off
If you happen to lift the unit off the base station
while boiling, the unit shuts itself off. This is the
so-called lift-off shut-off.
Cleaning
First pull the plug out of the electric socket and let
the unit cool off.
Clean the exterior of the unit with a soft, moist
cloth. If heavily soiled, you can use a mild deter-
gent.
Decalcifying
Depending on the hardness degree of the water,
lime scale can build up over time on the bottom
and on the interior wall of the stainless steel tank.
The harder the water, the faster the lime scale
builds up. That is harmless but it can impair the
performance of the unit.
For that reason, we recommend regularly decalci-
fying the unit as follows
■
Fill the unit three-quarters full with water.
■
Boil it.
■
After the unit has shut itself off, fill the unit
additionally with distilled white vinegar up to
the MAX mark.

with clear water.
