Please read through this user manual thoroughly before using your Solis Tea Kettle Classic so that you become famil- iar with your appliance and can use it safely. We thoroughly recommend that you keep these instructions and, if you pass the appliance on, that you also hand these instructions to the new owner. For your own safety, please observe the following safety measures when using elec trical appliances:

1. To avoid electric shock, neither the appliance base nor the

power cord and plug resp. the electrical contacts in the bot- tom of the jug and on the appliance base must come into contact with water or any other liquids. Water can enter the housing and damage the appliance! Should the appliance base resp. the power cord or plug resp. the electrical contacts in the bottom of the jug and on the appliance base come into contact with liquids, use dry rubber gloves to immediately pull the power plug from the power socket. Do not use the appli- ance before having it checked for functionality and safety by Solis or a Solis approved service centre.

2. The glass jug itself must not be submerged in water or other

liquids and has to be completely dry on the outside and bot- tom when being placed on the appliance base.

3. Do not operate or unplug the appliance with wet or moist

4. Before using the appliance, check that the voltage stated on

the type plate matches your mains voltage.

5. Place the appliance while in function on a heat and moisture

resistant, level, stable, clean and dry surface, like a table or work top. A minimum distance of 20 cm to walls, curtains or heat resp. steam sensitive objects has to be kept at all times. We recommend not using the appliance under heat and moisture sensitive furniture resp. hanging cupboards. The 92room should be well ventilated to allow the steam to escape quickly.

6. Never use the Tea Kettle near the edge of a table. Make sure

it is kept out of the reach of children and pets to prevent it from being pulled down and damaged with the escaping boiling water causing scaldings.

7. Do not leave the power cable hanging over table edges so

that it can be pulled. Make sure that it does not come into contact with hot surfaces, such as hotplates or a radiator, or that it comes into contact with the appliance. Fully unwind the cord before use.

8. Protect the appliance from frost. In winter, do not leave the

appliance in a car. Never place the appliance or the glass jug alone in the fridge or the freezer, e.g. to make ice tea.

9. Keep the appliance away from hot gas, hot ovens and other

heat-emitting appliances or heat sources. Do not use the appliance near flammable or explosive liquids or gases. Never use the appliance on a hot or wet surface. Never place the appliance near moisture, heat and naked flames. Keep the appliance away from moving parts or appliances.

10. Never carry the appliance by the power cable and do not place

it on the power cable.

11. We recommend that you do not use an extension cable with

this appliance. Do not connect the power plug to a plug board to which other appliances are connected. Do not place the appliance directly underneath a power socket.

12. Unplug the appliance when it is not in use or unattended and

before cleaning. We recommend the use of a residual current device (RCD safety switch) to ensure additional protection during the use of electrical appliances. It is advisable to use a safety switch with a rated residual operating current of 30 mA maximum. For professional advice consult an electrician. 9313. Do not make any adjustments to the appliance, cable, plug or accessories.

14. Caution: The surfaces of the appliance, the glass jug (incl.

the surface of the heating element in the jug bottom), the lid ring with the lid insert, the tea strainer as well as the water / the tea in the jug will become very hot during boiling and stay very hot even some time after switching off. Be careful not to burn yourself!

15. In order to avoid electric shock, never submerge or bring

the glass jug bottom, the appliance base, the power cord or the power plug into contact with water. Never rinse the outside of the glass jug with running water. Never handle the wet tea strainer or the wet lids above the appliance base!

16. Never take hold of an appliance that has fallen into water.

Always take the plug out of the power socket before remov- ing the appliance from the water. Do not use the appliance again until you have had it‘s ability to function safely checked by Solis or a Solis approved service centre.

17. Never place the Tea Kettle in a place where it could fall into

water (e.g. next to a sink).

18. Place the appliance so that it is never exposed to direct sun-

19. Do not leave the Tea Kettle unattended when in use. Incorrect

ance openings. The appliance may become damaged – dan- ger of electric shock!

21. Do not shake or relocate the appliance while it is in operation.

22. Check if the glass jug is correctly positioned on the base

before starting to use the appliance. 9423. Only use the Solis Tea Kettle for heating water and making tea. It is not suitable for boiling other liquids (milk, hot choc- olate, coffee, etc.).

24. Only fill the jug with water through the lid opening, not

through the spout. For filling water, always lift the appliance off the appliance base.

25. Only switch the appliance on when there is enough water in

the kettle (note 0,5 litres MIN marking!), otherwise the appli- ance might be damaged.

26. Should there be too little water in the jug or should the water

have evaporated, thereby triggering the overheat protection, pull the plug and let the appliance cool down for approx. 30 minutes, before refilling cold water into the jug. Caution: Never fill the appliance with cold water to cool it down, always wait for the jug to cool down by itself.

27. Use the appliance only as described in this manual. Never

switch the appliance on with an empty jug. Improper use can cause personal injury. Only fill the jug with cold water and make sure never to exceed the MAX marking resp. fall under the MIN marking.

28. A maximum of 1,2 litres of water can be filled into the glass

jug. If more water is poured in, the boiling water could splash resp. splutter out of the jug and cause scaldings resp. dam- age to the appliance. Should hot water splash out of the jug during boiling, switch the appliance off immediately with the START/STOP button (press and hold button for 2 seconds) and pull the plug. The appliance base and the outside of the jug with the electrical contacts have to be completely dry before, during and after the boiling process.

Warning: The tea strainer is hot as well! The hot drops from the tea

strainer might also scald you! Tips:

• Use a small plate to carry the tea strainer from the jug to the kitchen sink or the waste bin. Take care not to let any drops from the tea strainer or lid insert fall onto the appliance base or the outside of the jug.

• If you wish to let the tea steep for a while after the steeping time has elapsed, you can simply leave the tea strainer in the jug for the beginning of the warm-keep- ing function.

• You can, however, shorten steeping time. To do that, press the button of the chosen tea program for at least 2 seconds during steeping time. A sixfold signal (1 x long, 5 x short) is sounded and your appliance automatically switches to warm-keeping mode. The blue button surround flashes slowly. Caution: If you disconnect the glass jug from the appliance base during the water heating phase, to insert the tea strainer or during the steeping phase, operation is automatically stopped (START/STOP button surround lights up in blue)! In that case, you have to restart the appliance.110

• After that, place the small lid insert back on the glass jug and close it.

• The tea is now ready to be served.

• Note: If you wish to stop the tea program, press the START/STOP button lit up in red for at least 2 seconds until a signal sounds. The button surround changes to blue. nTIPS FOR BREWING TEA

• The dosage and amount of tea leaves depends on your personal taste. Basically, 2 to 3 g of tea leaves are good for 200 ml of water, meaning approx. 1 well filled tea spoon per cup.

• The water quality has a deciding influence on the taste of the tea. We recom- mend using filtered water.

• Very small tea leaves soak up the water faster than big leaves, the tannin there- fore spreads out in the water more quickly. With longer steeping times, the tea will become stronger (resp. possibly bitter) more quickly when using small leaves.

• If the amount of water is at or just above 500 ml, you should make sure that the tea leaves in the tea strainer are completely covered in water. If necessary, use a spoon to push the tea leaves down in the tea strainer.

• You can put home-dried or fresh tea leaves into the tea strainer or a tea bag. As a rule, all tea varieties should be placed in the jug in the tea strainer, do not put any tea leaves / tea bags directly into the glass jug.111

THE BOIL With your Solis Tea Kettle Classic, you can simply heat water to one of the 4 temperatures resp. bring water to the boil.

• Place the water-filled jug without the tea strainer on the appliance base. The outside of the jug and the appliance base have to be dry, the lid has to be closed.

• Plug the power plug into the power outlet. For a short moment, all button sur- rounds light up in blue, after that, only the button surrounds of the START/STOP button and the GREEN TEA button will light up.

• Press a tea program resp. a button if you wish to heat water to the corresponding temperature (75°/85°/90°/95°/100°). The blue button surround lights up around the button.

• After that, press the START/STOP button, its button surround lights up in red and the heating up process starts.

• Once the desired temperature has been reached, a fivefold signal sounds and the button surround of the selected program button flashes.

• If you have chosen the 100°/BOIL button, the appliance automatically switches to the warm-keeping function for 30 minutes after completing the boiling phase. The blue button surround of the 100°/BOIL button flashes slowly.

• If you have chosen another temperature (75°/85°/90°/95°), and wish to acti- vate the warm-keeping function, you have to press the previously chosen program button for at least 2 seconds while the blue button surround is flashing. A sixfold signal sounds and the warm-keeping function is activated for 30 minutes. The flashing intervals of the button surround change to slower flashes.

• If you wish to stop the program during the heating up phase, you can do this at any time by pressing the START/STOP button for at least 2 seconds until a signal sounds and the button surround of the START/STOP button changes to blue.112

WARM-KEEPING FUNCTION The warm-keeping function prevents the tea resp. the hot water in the glass jug from cooling down in the next 30 minutes. Depending on the set temperature, the warm-keeping function varies between 65°C and 90°C. In the following cases, the warm-keeping function is activated automa- tically:

• After the steeping time of a certain tea program has elapsed. The warm-keeping function can be identified by the slow flashing of the blue light of the button surround. 30 seconds after the steeping time has elapsed, another signal sounds to remind you to remove the tea strainer from the jug. This pre- vents the tea from getting too strong. At the end of the warm-keeping phase, after 30 minutes, a sixfold signal sounds, the appliance switches off and the button surround of the START/STOP button changes to blue and the tea program button lights up constantly in blue as well.

• At the end of the classic water cooker function, if you have selected the 100°/BOIL program. Here, too, the blue light of the button surround only flashes slowly if the warm-keeping function is activated. At the end of the warm-keep- ing phase, after 30 minutes, a sixfold signal sounds, the appliance switches off and the button surround of the START/STOP button changes to blue. The 100°/ BOIL button, too, lights up constantly in blue.

• Important: If you disconnect the glass jug from the appliance base during the warm-keeping phase (START/STOP button surround lights up in blue) and place the jug back on the base before the 30 minutes of the warm-keeping phase have elapsed, you have to reactivate the warm-keeping function by briefly pressing the START/STOP button. The button surround of the START/STOP button changes back to red, the warm-keeping phase is continued until the 30 minutes have elapsed.

• To fully cancel the warm-keeping function, press the START/STOP button for at least 2 seconds, the button surround changes to blue. The chosen program, too, lights up constantly in blue.113

SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE OFF

• Every program and every function can be interrupted at all times. To do so, you can press the START/STOP button for 2 seconds to switch the appliance to operating mode.

• To switch the appliance off, press the START/STOP button for 2 seconds to switch the appliance to operating mode (when the program hasn’t fi nished yet) and then pull the power plug to disconnect the appliance from the power.

• The power plug should be pulled after every use, so that the appliance is com- pletely disconnected from the power and switched off. OVERHEAT PROTECTION Should the appliance overheat, e.g. if there is no or too little water in the jug or if it has already evaporated, the appliance automatically switches off. In this case, pull the plug and let the appliance cool down for approx. 30 minutes before using it again.The buttons can only be used again once the appliance has cooled down suffi ciently. Never try to cool the appliance down by fi lling it with cold water! Always let the appliance cool down between two heating phases.

1. Never exceed the MAX marking when fi lling the jug as this might cause the

water to splash out of the jug during boiling and cause scalding resp. electric shock!

2. Filled to the MAX marking, the jug holds 1,2 litres of water.

3. Never fi ll the jug with too little water. The MIN marking (500 ml) has to be

reached every time, otherwise the overheat protection is triggered and the appliance switches off.

4. Always check if the lid is correctly closed before connecting the power plug to

5. Dry the outside of the jug including the jug bottom as well as the appliance base

before plugging in the plug.

6. During a program, you can deactivate it at any time by pressing the START/STOP

button for 2 seconds. OVERHEAT PROTECTION Should the appliance overheat, e.g. if there is no or too little water in the jug or if it has already evaporated, the appliance automatically switches off. In this case, pull the plug and let the appliance cool down for approx. 30 minutes before using it again.The buttons can only be used again once the appliance has cooled down suffi ciently. Never try to cool the appliance down by fi lling it with cold water! Always let the appliance cool down between two heating phases.114

7. Should there be too little water in the jug or should the water have evaporated,

thereby triggering the overheat protection, pull the plug and let the appliance cool down for 30 minutes before refilling cold water into the jug.

8. If you use the function 100°/BOIL to boil water or a heating function, never open

the lid, as hot water might splash out of the jug. If you want to open the lid, e.g. to refill cold water, the hot water remaining in the jug should be poured out through the spout first, with the lid closed.

9. Because steam needs to escape during the boiling process, the spout is always

open. Therefore, water might escape when the filled jug is tilted or toppled to one side. As a consequence, the filled jug always has to be in an upright position. Caution: Always be careful not to burn or scald yourself on the hot steam that escapes from the spout.

10. If you do not need the hot water anymore, pull the power plug, pour the remain-

ing water out of the jug and let the appliance cool down. Notes:

• Do not tilt the filled jug too strongly and never turn it upside down, even when the lid is shut. Water can escape even if the lid is shut!

• Before switching the appliance on, always make sure that the lid is shut.

• The cover of the heating element in the jug bottom is made from high quality stainless steel. Should any brown deposits form, this is not rust but limestone which can be removed as described in the section “Descaling“ on page 116.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Before cleaning, pull the power plug and let the Tea Kettle and the accessories

cool down completely.

2. Never submerge the jug or the appliance base in water or any other liquids and

do not spray water or any other liquids onto the appliance parts. Risk of electric shock!

3. Clean the outside and inside of the jug as well as the appliance base after every

use with a slightly wet towel and dry everything.

4. Clean the tea strainer and the lid ring with the lid insert in hot dish water, rinse

everything with clear water and dry everything carefully Tip: If you want to remove the discolourations on the tea strainer, put a few drops of mild washing up liquid on a soft sponge and clean the tea strainer with it. Never put the washing up liquid directly on the tea strainer, always put it on the sponge. After that, thoroughly rinse the tea strainer with clear water and dry it.115 Notes:

• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or solvents and no scratching mate- rials to clean the appliance, this might damage the surfaces.

• The accessories can not be cleaned in the dishwasher. Do not use a steam cleaner for cleaning. Discolourations on the glass jug caused by the tannin in the tea can be removed as follows: Fill the glass jug up the MAX marking with 1200 ml of cold water and choose one of the following three options: a) Put a halved lemon and the previously squeezed juice into the water and bring it to the boil. Let the solution sit overnight. After that, pour the water away, refill the jug with 1200 ml and boil again. If necessary, repeat the process. b) Put 2 tablespoons of soda bicarbonate into the water and bring it to the boil. Let the solution sit overnight. After that, pour the water away, refill the jug with 1200 ml and boil again. If necessary, repeat the process. c) Put 6 tablespoons of white vinegar into the water and bring it to the boil. Let the solution sit overnight. After that, pour the water away, refill the jug with 1200 ml and boil again. If necessary, repeat the process. After that, carefully dry the glass jug with a soft towel.116 nDESCALING THE GLASS JUG

• After prolonged use or through the exposure to hard water, limestone deposits might form in the jug. A white layer of limestone forms on the inside of the jug. This can reduce operating performance and impair the taste of the water / tea. Caution: If the limestone layer is very thick, it might cause the appliance to overheat and damage it beyond repair!

• Solis recommends regularly (depending on water hardness, however at least once a month) descaling your jug with a mixture of SOLIPOL

forte and water. This also applies if you use filtered water. Please use only SOLIPOL

forte (art.-no. 703.01) for descaling the appliance. Damages caused by the use of unsuitable descaling agent are not covered by warranty.

• Remove the tea strainer.

• Pour 400 ml of cold water into the glass jug and switch the appliance on. Bring the water to the boil with the water cooker function 100°/BOIL. Take the water jug off the base, carefully open the lid (Caution, hot steam!) and pour 800 ml SOLIPOL

forte into the water jug so that the descaling solu- tion reaches the MAX marking. Please ensure that the glass jug is placed on a non-sensitive resp. shielded worktop.

• Let the descaling solution sit for approx. 30 minutes. Do not boil!

• Slowly pour the descaling solution out through the spout to descale that area as well. Remove possibly remaining limestone deposits on the spout with a towel soaked in a solution of SOLIPOL

• After you have poured the descaling solution away, you have to fill the jug three times with fresh, cold tap water up to the MAX marking, bring it to the boil with the function 100°/BOIL and pour the water away each time to remove all residues of the descaling solution. Let the appliance cool down between two boiling processes!117

• When not needed, the Tea Kettle should be disconnected from the power, be allowed to cool down completely and then dried.

• Wind the power cord around the cord wrap in the bottom of the appliance base.

• Place the dry lids and the dry tea strainer on resp. in the dry jug.

• Store the cool, clean and dry appliance in an upright position, best in the original packaging. Do not place any objects on the appliance.118

TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible cause and solution Appliance does not function

Is the power plug connected to the power outlet?

Check if the power socket is connected to the power with another electrical device.

Check if power cord or power plug are damaged. If yes, do not use the appliance but bring it to a Solis service centre. The appliance can not be switched on

Check if the glass jug is correctly positioned on the appliance base. Some functions can not be activated

Once a function button has been pressed and the hea- ting up phase has begun, the other buttons can not be operated anymore. Exception: The START/STOP button. An exception to this rule is the warm-keeping function (see page 112 of this manual).

If you wish to change a program, you either have to elapse the currently activated program or press the START/STOP button for 2 seconds to prematurely quit the program. The appliance makes loud noises during the heating phase – The appliance is calcified. Descale the appliance as described. Brewing tea takes lon

The appliance is calcified. Descale the appliance as described. The tea is too strong or too weak

Tea taste is highly individual.

If the tea is too weak, increase the amount of tea leaves.

If the tea is too strong, use less tea leaves resp. remove the tea strainer from the jug right after the steeping time has elapsed.119 Problem Possible cause and solution The amount of tea is smaller than the amount of water filled

Please note that different tea varieties absorb different amounts of water, the amount of tea in the end is there- fore smaller than the amount of water filled. Addition- ally, a small amount of water evaporates during prepara- tion. Glass jug and/or tea strainer have taken on the taste of the tea that has been brewed

Glass jug and tea strainer can take on the taste of espe- cially intensive varieties of tea like e.g. peppermint or other herbal or fruit teas and even be discoloured. This is normal and not an appliance defect. Clean the glass jug and the tea strainer as described in the section “Clean- ing“.120
