Frequently Asked Questions - Elegance BEEM

How to use the tea set on an induction cooktop?

Ensure the base diameter (14.5 cm recommended) matches the cooking zone. A humming sound is normal and does not indicate a defect. Older hobs may have less effect.

Why does my tea set turn yellow or brown?

This is due to overheating. Never heat empty. The discoloration disappears after several uses. If it persists, it remains visible and does not affect function.

Can I wash the tea set in the dishwasher?

No, because of the handles. Wash by hand with hot water and a soft sponge. Avoid steel wool and abrasive cleaners.

How to remove white limescale stains in the bottom?

Pour vinegar or lemon juice into the appliance, add hot water and let it sit overnight. Then rinse thoroughly.

What to do if rust stains appear?

Rust stains are superficial (due to iron and limescale). Clean with a regular stainless steel cleaner.

Can I use the tea set on a gas stove?

Yes, but ensure the flames do not touch the side walls to avoid burns and damage.

How to make tea with this set?

Fill the kettle with water and heat it with the lid closed. Place tea leaves in the teapot, add hot water. Place the teapot on the kettle and cover to keep warm.

Why should the lid not be opened during boiling?

Splashing water can cause burns. Wait for the water to cool before opening.

What is the warranty on this product?

In addition to the statutory warranty, BEEM offers an extended manufacturer warranty on certain products. Check the packaging or www.beem.de for details. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear.

Use and care instructions

Congratulations on choosing this high-quality BEEM product

Please read the following use and care instructions before the first use:

• Remove the packaging material and stickers. Rinse the device with hot water and dry it well.
• Overheating can damage the stainless steel. Initially, it has a yellow colour and becomes darker as it gets hotter. Never heat up empty cookware. Leaving the cookware unattended could lead to damage to the cookware or to the source of heat.
• The teapot set is suitable for all types of hobs. Use on induction hobs can create a buzzing noise; this can differ depending on the manufacturer and quality of the hob.
  This noise does not represent a defect to either your hob or the cookware.
  The base diameter of the induction plate on your tea set and the induction hob must be roughly equal; otherwise there is a chance that the cooking area will not be equivalent to the base of the pot. We recommend a cooktop diameter of 14.5 cm for the teapot set.
  Old induction hobs that do not represent the latest stage of technology do not respond as well to the magnetic base of the pot. When using gas hobs, you must ensure that the flames do not reach the sides of the pot.
• Never touch the external walls of the teapot set when in use: There is a risk of burning.
• Only touch the teapot and kettle on the handles.
• Do not open the lid whilst the water is boiling. There is a risk of burning from the bubbling water.

Preparing tea

• Pour water into the kettle and boil it with the lid on.
• Add the tea leaves or teabag to the teapot and pour hot water over the tea.
  • Take the lid from the kettle. Place the teapot on top of the kettle and place the lid on the teapot. The hot water in the kettle keeps the tea in the tea pot warm.

Special cleaning instructions

The teapot set cannot be put in the dishwasher due to the handles. Scourers and scouring powders containing sand scratch the surface and should therefore not be used. Rainbow-coloured rims are a sign of overheating; these disappear after several uses. Yellow or even brown discolourations caused by overheating remain.

Rust stains are caused by iron and lime residues in the water and are purely superficial. They can be removed using conventional detergents designed for stainless steel cookware.

Small white marks appear on the base as a result of using calcareous water. All kinds of marks can be removed using vinegar and/or lemon juice, covering with warm water and leaving to stand overnight.
