Operating the appliance for the first time and general information

The kettle is made from stainless steel and original Schott DURAN® glass. It is heat resistant, stable, neutral tasting and easy to clean. Thoroughly clean the inside of the kettle prior to the first use. (see the chapter entitled “Cleaning and care”). A strainer insert in the pour spout ensures that larger limescale particles are kept back when pouring. The unnecessary length of the connecting cable can be wound at the bottom of the base part. Connect the mains plug to an earthed socket. When filling the kettle, note the MIN (0.5 l) and MAX (1.4 l or 1.7 l) fill quantities. Note: If you use too little water, the dry-run protection (overheating protection) automatically switches the heating element off. If there is too much water then hot water may boil over, which can cause serious injury or burns. Depending on use, place one of the two lids on the kettle in order for the automatic BoilStop function to work reliably. Place the kettle on the base in any position. Do not use the water from the first boiling process for food preparation.

Operating the machine

You can prepare perfect cups of tea with the LONO 2-in-1 tea and water kettle by individually selecting the temperature and brewing time. Alternatively you can use the appliance as a kettle as well. It also offers additional functions such as keep warm and boil. The various options are explained in detail below. The temperature of the water and the length of time you leave the tea to infuse plays a key role in making tea. Below you will find an overview to act as a guide: The temperature and infusion time can be adapted depending on the type of tea and your personal preferences.

1. Remove the kettle from the base. 2. Use the lid with tea strainer (1). 3. Fill the tea strainer with the desired tea leaves. To do this, pull the tea strainer downwards to remove it from the holder (Fig. A). 4. Push the tea strainer back into the holder until you hear it click into place (Fig. B). 5. Fill the kettle with the required amount of water (MIN 0.5 l, MAX 1.4 l) 6. Place the lid with tea strainer on the kettle. Make sure that the tea strainer is fitted to the lid.

Setting the brewing time

The appliance is supplied with preset brewing times for the preset temperature/programme buttons (70°, 80°, 90°,100°C or „p“). If you wish to change these times depending on the type of tea, proceed as follows: ▪▪ When you press the required temperature button, the preset brewing time is indicated on the display. ▪▪ To change the brewing time, press the temperature button for more than 3 seconds until the colon starts to flash between the numbers on the display. You can now adjust the brewing time by repeatedly pressing the same temperature button, which increases in 30-second increments from 0 to 15 minutes. ▪▪ If the button is left unpressed for 8 seconds, the last time indicated on the display is saved and the appliance switches off. ▪▪ Your individual brewing temperature is now linked to the corresponding heating up temperature. ▪▪ You can adjust the times as you wish.

Individually setting the brewing time and brewing temperature

The programme button „P“ (9) enables you to set an individual brewing time and brewing temperature for your very personal cup of tea. You can select temperatures from 60°C to 100°C and brewing times from 0 to 15 minutes. ▪▪ Press the P button (9). The set temperature and brewing time that were used last flash alternately on the display. ▪▪ To change the values, press the P button (9) again for more than 3 seconds until the colon between the numbers on the display starts to flash. You can now set the brewing time by pressing repeatedly on the P button, which increases in 30-second increments from 0 to 15 minutes. If you stop pressing the P button, after a few seconds the appliance automatically saves the temperature setting. The C behind the temperature flashes on the display. You can increase the temperature in 5°C increments by pressing the P button repeatedly. ▪▪ If the P button is left unpressed for 8 seconds, the values are saved, there is a beeping sound and the appliance switches off.

The kettle is equipped with a pre-boil function. By boiling the water it is virtually sterile. To activate this function, press the appropriate temperature button twice when choosing the desired temperature (70°, 80° or 90° C). The temperature button selected and the 100° C button light up. Press the Start/Stop button to start boiling. Once the water has boiled, the 100° C button light goes out and the cooling process starts automatically. The Start/Stop button flashes. The actual temperature of the water is indicated on the display. As soon as the desired temperature has been reached, the appliance beeps (several times at specific intervals). You can now prepare the tea and begin the brewing process or use the water for another purpose. Note: Please note that it takes several minutes for the water to cool down from 100° to 60° or 70° C.

With the keep warm function you can keep freshly-brewed tea or hot water warm for up to 40 minutes. This function can only be used once the boiling and brewing processes have ended. It works like a rechaud, whereby the last temperature to be used is used as the keep warm temperature. To activate the keep warm function, press the Keep Warm button (10) and the Start/Stop button (11) in succession. Both buttons light up and the remaining time is indicated on the display. The keep warm function switches off automatically as soon as you remove the glass container from the base or the 40-minute keep warm period has lapsed. Note: The keep warm function cannot be activated with a water temperature of 100°C.

A thermostat protects the kettle from overheating due to accidental operation without water by switching off the device. It is essential to allow the kettle to cool down before filling with water. Should the first thermostat malfunction due to improper use, an additional temperature limiter provides reliable protection.

▪▪ Remove the mains plug and allow the appliance to cool down. ▪▪ Do not immerse the appliance in water, but rather clean it using a damp cloth with a little washing-up liquid and then dry it. ▪▪ Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents. ▪▪ The inside of the kettle should be cleaned with warm water and a washing-up brush. To do this, remove the sealed lid or the tea strainer lid. ▪▪ We recommend cleaning the glass container after each use to prevent tea deposits from forming. You can descale the kettle for more stubborn stains or limescale build-up. (see the chapter entitled “Descaling”). CAUTION: Never clean the kettle under running water. The scale filter(3) in the pour spout can be removed for cleaning. To do this, pull the clip on the filter upwards to remove the filter. To position the filter, hold it by the clip, place it on top of the pouring spout and push downwards. Make sure that the clip is positioned facing forwards towards the pour spout.

For easy cleaning, the scale filter (3), lid with tea strainer (1) and sealed lid (12) can be cleaned in the washing machine.

Descaling Limescale deposits lead to energy losses and impair the service life of the appliance. The appliance switches off prematurely if the layer of limescale is too thick. The limescale is then very difficult to remove. Therefore descale the appliance regularly. We recommend using Cromargol® kettle descaler. This product has been designed specifically for descaling kettles and is extremely effective, food safe and has a neutral smell and taste. Thanks to the special care formula with two double additives, the Cromargol® kettle descaler does not damage the materials. You can usually purchase Cromargol® from the store where you have purchased your appliance or from your chosen dealer. The Cromargol® / Cromargol® water kettle decalcifier is only available in Germany and Austria. ▪▪ Prior to descaling, unplug the appliance from the mains and allow it to cool down. ▪▪ Remove the strainer and place it inside the kettle. Replace the strainer after descaling has finished. ▪▪ Shake the bottle of Cromargol® before using it. Fill the kettle with one portion (100 ml) of Cromargol® kettle descaler and leave for approximately five minutes to take effect. Then fill the appliance with cold tap water to cover the limescale ring on the wall and leave to stand for 30 minutes. ▪▪ Then pour out the water and thoroughly rinse with cold tap water. ▪▪ Measure out and use other descaling agents according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not heat the solution during descaling. Caution: the warranty does not cover damage caused by failure to observe the descaling instructions.
