Frequently Asked Questions - STK 650 B2 SILVERCREST

How to use the STK 650 B2 electric tea kettle?

Remove the kettle from the base, open the lid, remove the infusion system, fill with water between the MIN and MAX marks, add tea to the infusion chamber, reassemble the system, close the lid, place back on the base, plug in and turn on with the On/Off switch. The appliance stops automatically and switches to keep-warm.

Why does my tea taste bitter?

Green tea should not be brewed in this kettle because the temperature is too high and releases tannins, causing a bitter taste. Use only black tea or herbal infusions.

What to do if the appliance no longer heats up?

Check if the overheating protection has been triggered (empty kettle or too little water). Let it cool down, then press the Reset button located under the kettle. The appliance will work again.

How to clean the infusion system?

Clean the infusion chamber, tube and strainer with hot water and dish soap. Use the provided brush to clean the inside of the tube. Rinse thoroughly with clear water.

How to descale the appliance?

Use a household descaler based on citric acid. Pour the solution into the kettle up to the MAX mark, wait 10 minutes, then boil. Repeat if necessary. Then boil 2 to 3 kettles of clear water to rinse.

Can I heat milk or alcohol?

No, this could irreversibly damage the appliance. Use only water to prepare tea.

How much water can I put in?

Respect the MIN and MAX marks inside the kettle. Never exceed the MAX level to avoid splashing and risk of burns.

How does the keep-warm function work?

After boiling, the appliance automatically switches to keep-warm. The indicator light turns off and the switch remains on. If the water cools down, the kettle reheats it and the light turns on again.

What to do if the lid is open?

Never use the appliance without the lid closed, as the automatic shut-off system would not work and boiling water could overflow. Always close the lid before switching on.

Can I use tea bags?

Yes, you can put tea bags in the infusion chamber. Make sure no tags or strings remain in the appliance or protrude from the lid.

Safety information

DANGER! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

• Ensure that the base containing the electrical connections never comes into contact with water! Allow the base to dry completely if it accidentally becomes wet.
• Use the appliance only with the supplied base.
• Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet or damp when the appliance is in use. Route the cable so that it cannot be trapped or damaged in any way.
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced as soon as possible by a qualified technician or by our Customer Service Department to avoid the risk of injury.
  Always remove the plug from the mains power socket after use. Switching the appliance off is not sufficient; it will remain live for as long as the plug is connected to the power socket.

DANGER! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

• Do not allow any liquid to run over the appliance's plug connections.

Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. There is a risk of electric shock!

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

• Do not operate the appliance with the lid open, otherwise the automatic switch-off cannot work. Boiling water could then spray out over the rim.
• Bursts of hot steam may be released. The jug also becomes extremely hot during use. It is therefore always best to wear oven mitts when handling the jug.
• Ensure that the appliance is stable and vertical before switching it on. Boiling water can cause the appliance to fall over if it is not set up stably.
  Treat the jug with great care. Broken glass can cause cuts.
• Never fill it with more water than up to the MAX marking. Otherwise, boiling water may splash out and cause scalds.
• Do not open the lid while the water is boiling.
• Appliances may be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or a lack of experience and/or knowledge only if they are supervised or have been instructed how to use the appliance safely and have understood the potential risks.
  This appliance may be used by children aged 8 years or over, if they are supervised or have been told how to use the appliance safely and are aware of the potential risks.
• Cleaning and user maintenance tasks must not be carried out by children unless they are aged 8 years or over and are supervised.

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

The appliance and its connecting cable must be kept away from children younger than 8 years old.
Do not allow children to play with the appliance.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- Do not use an external timer switch or a separate remote control system to operate the appliance.
After use, the surfaces of the heating elements will still have some residual heat.
- Misuse may result in physical injury! Use the appliance only as described in the instructions!

Caution! Hot surfaces!

CAUTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE!

• Never refill the appliance with cold water immediately after boiling. It can lead to stresses in the glass and even breakage.

Before first use

■ Remove all packaging materials from the appliance.

Rinse out all parts of the brewing system (brewing chamber 10, riser pipe 11, sieve 12) and the jug 3 carefully (see section "Cleaning and care").

Before first use, proceed as follows:

1) Remove the jug 3 from the base 5.
2) Fill the jug 3 up to the MAX mark and add a teaspoon of lemon juice (or lemon juice concentrate). If you have no lemon, you can add a teabag (or a teaspoon of loose leaf tea) directly to the water.
3) Insert the brewing system into the jug ③.
4) Close the lid 1 and place the jug 3 on the base 5.
5) Switch the appliance on with the On/Off switch 8. The control lamp 4 and the On/Off switch light up. Wait until the control lamp 4 goes off.
6) Switch off the appliance using the On/Off switch ③ and clean the appliance as described in "Cleaning and care".

The tea maker is now ready for use.

Operation

CAUTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE!

• Do not add any sugar to the tea maker. Do not heat any milk or alcohol in the tea maker. This will irreparably damage the appliance.

NOTE

• Green tea is not suitable for brewing in the tea maker. The ideal brewing temperature for green tea is around 70^ . At higher brewing temperatures, such as those used by the tea maker, tannins are released. This makes the tea taste bitter.

1) Remove the jug 3 from the base 5.
2) Open the lid 1 and remove the brewing system. Place the brewing system on a level system.
3) Add the required amount of water to the jug ③. Never fill water to more than the MAX marking or less than the MIN marking.

• To prevent scalds and electric shocks, ensure that the water in the jug ③ never overflows.

4) Remove the brewing system and pull the riser pipe with the sieve upwards.
5) Add the desired quantity of tea or teabags to the brewing chamber 10.

NOTE

Ensure that no tags or bag threads remain in the device.

6) Replace the brewing system in the jug ③. Ensure that the riser pipe ① fits into the recess on the floor of the jug ③. The brewing chamber ⑩ must be inserted with the recess facing towards the handle ②.
7) Close the lid ①.
8) Replace the jug 3 on the base 5.
9) Insert the mains plug into a mains power socket and set the On/Off switch 8 to the position "I". The control lamp 4 and the On/Off switch 8 light up.

The water is now boiled, pressed upwards through the riser pipe 11 and flows through the brewing chamber 10 back into the jug 3.

After the water is boiled, the appliance switches to the keep-warm function. The control lamp 4 goes out. Only the On/Off switch 8 remains lit up. As soon as the water cools down, the tea maker boils it again. The control lamp 4 lights up again during the boiling process.

NOTE

As the water is fed back through the brewing system when it is re-boiled, remove the brewing system from the jug ③ after the first brew.

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

The brewing system is very hot! There is a risk of burns! Use oven gloves when you touch the brewing system.

NOTE

The longer you keep the drink warm and the more liquid evaporates, the stronger the drink will become. We therefore recommend drinking the tea as quickly as possible after it is initially brewed.
■ You can interrupt the boiling process at any time. To do this, set the On/Off switch ⑧ to the "0" position. The boiling process stops.

Once you remove the jug 3 from the base 5 the boiling process stops.

CAUTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE!

Always allow the jug 3 to cool down before refilling it with cold water for another brewing cycle. Otherwise, excessive tension in the glass could cause the jug 3 to break.

Overheating protection

If the appliance overheats, the overheat protection automatically switches off the heating element inside the appliance. The On/Off switch remains lit, but the appliance no longer heats up.

The overheating protection is activated if the appliance is switched on if the jug ③ contains no or not enough water.

If the overheating protection has switched the heating element off, please proceed as follows:

Allow the appliance to cool down.

Press the reset button on the bottom of the jug 3. The appliance can now be used again.

Cleaning and care

Always remove the plug before cleaning the appliance. There is a risk of electric shock! Allow the appliance to cool down. Risk of burns!

Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. There is a risk of electric shock! The appliance may be irreparably damaged.

To achieve the best tea-brewing result every time, the appliance should always be cleaned after use. This prevents:

the combination of limescale and tannins, caused by boiling water and.
brewing tea, from affecting the functioning of the tea maker;
the jug from taking on the flavour of particularly aromatic teas and affecting other varieties of tea if the tea maker is used regularly.

Clean the jug 3 of the tea maker with a damp cloth. Add a little mild detergent to the cloth to remove stubborn dirt. Rinse out the jug 3 afterwards with plenty of clean water to remove any detergent residue. You can clean the recess on the bottom of the jug 3 well with a washing up brush.

CAUTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE!

Do not use abrasive, chemical or caustic cleaning agents. These can irreparably damage the appliance!

Clean the brewing system with hot water and washing-up liquid:

The brewing chamber 10 and the sieve 12 can be cleaned with a washing up brush. Clean the riser pipe 11 using the riser pipe brush 9. Rinse the entire brewing system after cleaning with clear water to ensure that no detergent residues remain.

Descaling

The hardness of the water will lead to a scaling up of the appliance over time. Limescale impairs the functionality of the appliance, reduces the quality of the tea and increases energy consumption.

NOTE

• Ask your local water utility for information about the hardness of the water. If your water is very hard, descaling is necessary sooner, with softer water later. Use a descaler suitable for household device and follow the usage instructions.

1) Use a standard commercial lemon-based descaler. Always follow the instructions on the packaging of the descaler.
2) Insert the brewing system into the jug 3.
3) Add the descaler solution to the jug ③. Never fill liquid to more than the MAX marking and never less than the MIN marking.
4) Wait 10 minutes and then switch the appliance on.
5) Allow the solution to boil and then wait until it has run through the brewing system.
6) If necessary, repeat the process. You can re-user the descaler solution but you will have to allow it to cool down first.
7) Once the limescale has been loosened, boil clear water and run it through the system. Repeat around 2 - 3 times.
8) Afterwards, clean the jug 3 and the brewing system as described in the section "Cleaning and care".

Storage

If you are not going to use the appliance for an extended period, wind the cable anticlockwise around the cable retainer on the underside of the base 5 and guide the end through the cable outlet on the base 5.

Store the appliance in a dust-free and dry location.
