User manual
change the strength by adjusting the steeping time mentioned on the
tea package.
- Some teas have a low density and do not easily sink when they come
into contact with heated water. To improve immersion of the tea leaves,
you could briey rinse the leaves in the lter with hot tap water before
you put the lter in the teapot.
- You can take the teapot from the base during steeping, for instance
to let the tea steep in the living room. When you do this, the light ring
on the base continues to show the progress of the steeping process.
When the tea is ready, the base produces a bell sound and switches off
automatically. You can then use the lter holder to place the wet lter
on.
- The thin lm that sometimes develops on top of the tea is formed by
natural oils from the tea leaves in combination with natural minerals in
the water. You can prevent this layer from developing by using bottled
water or a water softener or lter.
- if you live in a hard water area, you could use a water softener or
water lter to lter the water before you make tea, as this reduces the
hardness of the water. For information about the type of water in your
area, contact your local water board.
- Used tea leaves can be used to fertilise garden plants and to improve
the condition of the soil.
- Put a sieve in the draining hole of your sink when you rinse the lter.
This helps prevent tea leaves from clogging up the sink.
- The sooner you rinse the teapot and the lter after use, the less likely it
is that tea stains build up inside the teapot and on the lter.
Cleaning
Never immerse the teapot or its base in water.
Do not clean the teapot, the lid and the base in the dishwasher. Only the
lter and the lter holder can be cleaned in the dishwasher
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids
such as petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.
Note: Be careful when you clean parts that are still hot.
Cleaning the teapot and the lter after every use
Clean the teapot and the lter after every use to prevent tea stains. Tea
stains can affect the taste of the next pot of tea you prepare. Do not leave
tea in the teapot overnight to prevent excessive staining.
