• Keep the main cord, the base and the kettle away from hot surfaces.

• Do not place the appliance on an enclosed surface (e.g. a serving tray), as this could cause water to accumulate under the appliance, resulting in a hazardous situation.

• Hot water can cause serious burns. Be careful when the kettle contains hot water.

• Do not touch the body of the kettle during and some time after use, as it gets very hot. Always lift the kettle by its handle.

• Never fill the kettle beyond the maximum level indication. If the kettle has been overfilled, boiling water may be ejected from the spout and cause scalding. Always fill the kettle above the minimum level to prevent damage on your kettle.

• Do not open the lid while the water is heating up or boiling. Be careful when you open the lid immediately after the water has boiled: the steam that comes out of the kettle is very hot.

• This rapid-boil kettle can draw up to 16 amps from the power supply in your home.

• The kettle is only intended for boiling water and making tea. Do not use it to heat up soup or other liquids or jarred, bottled or tinned food.

• Never fill the kettle below the MIN 0.3L level to prevent it from boiling dry.

• Depending on the hardness of the water in your area, small spots may appear on the heating element of your kettle when you use it. This phenomenon is the result of scale build-up on the heating element and on the inside of the kettle over time. The harder the water, the faster scale builds up. Scale can occur in different colours. Although scale is harmless, too much scale can influence the performance of your kettle.

• Descale your kettle regularly by following the instructions given in chapter ‘CLEANING + DESCALING’.

• Some condensation may appear on the base of the kettle. This is perfectly normal and does not mean that the kettle has any defects.

• Only to use with the related glass jar! Do not use another jar/pot on this base!6 Instruction manual

IMPORTANT: Pour out the excess water after heating in order to avoid excessive calcification. MAKING TEA Tea varieties are grown and produced in different environments and require specific water temperatures and controlled brew times to allow their unique flavour and aroma to develop during brewing. Boiled water is not considered good for making many tea types as the boiling process removes oxygen, making the water stale. To bring out the optimal quality and taste of more delicate tea leaves such as green, oolong and white tea, a lower temperature will produce a better flavoured cup of tea while boiling water may scald the tea leaves and result in a bitter, astringent brew. The Water & tea cooker is for all types of tea, water temperatures and brew times, eliminating the guesswork so you can enjoy a perfect cup of tea, every time. Fill the tea sieve (Figure 5.) Remove the tea sieve to fill and place it back in the glass jar.EN

Water temperature Notice: Too long steeping time can result in more bitterness and a less balanced flavour. We recommend experimenting to find your best personal taste. Japanese green teas generally taste best at 1 - 2 minutes while Chinese green teas (bigger leaves) seem to prefer 2 - 3 minutes. Tea Temperature in

Place on table (Figure 6.) You can place the glass jar without base directly on the table to have fresh tea where you need it. Do not touch the metal bottom (Figure 7.) Do not touch the metal bottom from the glass jar in case that is it still hot. The ring keeps the distance to the table, so you are able to place the glass jar directly on the table. CLEANING + DESCALING IMPORTANT: Clean your appliance frequently to avoid calcification and to guarantee a long life with low energy consumption. Cleaning the base

• Unplug the appliance first.

• Clean the outside of the induction base with a soft cloth moistened with warm water and some mild cleaning agent.

• Do not use chemicals, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean the inside or outside of the glass jar as these may scratch the surface. Cleaning + descaling the glass jar (Figure 8.)

• Cleaning is an inherent part of maintenance of the equipment because the mineral deposits, especially from hard water cause scaling which gradually slow down the process of heating.

• Scale is not harmful to your health but it may give your drink a powdery taste. The filter spout prevents scale particles from ending up in your drink.

• The glass jar is dish washer safe. Put it upside down into a dish washer. Place the lid separate in the dish washer to descale the filter spout.10 Instruction manual Cleaning in dishwasher The glass jar is dish washer safe. Put it upside down into a dish washer. Place the lid separate in the dish washer to descale the filter spout. Cleaning by hand (Figure 9.) You can easily clean the glass jar by hand. Remove the whole lid to reach the whole inner part of the jar. Storage Ensure the base is switched off, clean and dry before storing. Ensure the lid is closed and locked securely into place. Stand the jar upright on the power base. Do not store anything on top. TROUBLESHOOTING If your induction range seems to be working improperly, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s faulty. In all cases, check the following points: Problem Solution Water & tea cooker does not switch

There is a connection problem. Check if the plug is inserted into the wall socket. In case of overheating, the kettle will automatically shut down to prevent further damage, let the kettle cool down and try again. Water & tea cooker switch off automatically There is a boil-dry protection against overheating. The water should always be filled above the MIN level. If the boil-dry protection is activated, wait until the water & tea cooker is cooled down and try again. My tea tastes too weak or too strong Tea taste is a personal preference and may require experimentation to get it to your liking. For stronger tasting tea, increase the amount of tea or brew time. For a weaker tasting tea, decrease the amount of tea or brew time and always check if you use the correct temperature.EN
