Turning the device off

- The device is turned off by rotating the temperature controller counterclockwise to position OFF the control light will go off. Disconnect the device from the socket (pull the plug!).

Preparation of tea

There are teas and teas. In the strict sense, the term tea describes a beverage made by steeping the leaves of Camellia sinensis in boiling water. There is black and green tea. Hot water can however also be poured over leaves of other plants or pieces of fruit.

Therefore preparation of tea is not always the same. In order to preserve the flavour and beneficial ingredients, infusions and teas are prepared with hot or boiling water and left to steep for shorter or longer periods. Green tea is for example best prepared with water at a temperature of 85^ C. In any case, always follow the instructions on the packaging.

Black tea

- Place the supplied tea strainer inside the tea pot.

- Fill the tea strainer with loose leaf tea (approx. one teaspoon per cup) or place a tea bag directly into the tea pot (approx. 1 tea bag per 1-2 cups).

- Place the lid on the tank and put the teapot on it. This pre-heats the teapot at the same time.

CAUTION! Burn hazard!

Place the teapot on to the lid in such way that the escaping steam does heat up the handle.

- Boil the water.

- Remove the teapot from the tank.

CAUTION! Burn hazard!

Hot steam will escape! A small amount of condensed water may also drip from the base of the teapot. Use the cloth for holding hot pots!

- Now pour boiling water over the tea from the tap.

• Fill max. 1 I into the teapot.

- Replace the teapot with the tea concentrate on the water tank. The steam rising in the water tank keeps the tea in the teapot at precisely the right temperature required for brewing.

NOTE!

You might choose the tea concentration by taste. Always take notice of the steeping time indicated on the tea packing, as it differs between the tea sorts.

• After the desired brewing time has elapsed, remove the tea strainer (tea bag) from the teapot.
- Next pour the required amount of tea concentrate from the teapot into your glass (to taste) and then top your glass up with water from the water tank. This will allow you to vary the strength and taste of your tea.
- The teapot can be left on the water tank when the appliance is operating so you can have more tea at any time. Position the knob somewhat above the °HOT position (but not to the detent), so that the water remains hot but does not boil continuously. The control light will illuminate and extinguish in cycle. However, the maximum heating setting should only be used for initial boiling of the water.

Green tea

• Green tea can also be prepared with the Samovar. Green tea should generally not be brewed with boiling water as this gives it a slightly bitter taste. Depending on the kind of tea the ideal water temperature is 50 °C - 70 °C . Most green teas develop their optimum taste at around 70 °C . The higher the quality of the green tea, the lower the optimum water temperature. Teas of the highest quality are brewed with water at 50 °C - 60 °C .
• Normal green teas must infuse for 1 to 3 minutes, while high-grade green teas only need around 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
• Green tea is always dosed less than black tea. Around 1 g per 100 ml or 1 level teaspoon to 200 ml of water. You can determine the strength of the concentrate yourself.
• Boil the water in the tank. Then pour some hot water into the cups (the teapot has been pre-warmed on the container during the boiling process). Then turn the adjusting knob back to the position (spending on the type of tea) and allow the water to cool down a little (approx. 5 – 6 minutes). Now pour hot water from the tank onto the tea. Place the teapot on top of the tank as described before so that the tea remains hot and then proceed as for black tea.

Herbal infusion

CAUTION!

Always prepare infusions of herbs, fruit, Rooibos and spice with boiling water and let them steep for minimum 5 to 10 minutes. This is to ensure that the beverage is completely safe for consumption!

• For herbal infusions, whether prepared with loose leaves or bags, always use boiling water and adhere to the recommended steeping time. In extremely rare cases, herbal mixtures might contain Salmonella, which is however effectively destroyed by boiling water. Incorrect preparation of the infusion can pose a health risk, especially in connection with infusions for children.
• Never prepare herbal infusions using water that is not boiling hot, for example to make a beverage that is at drinking temperature the moment it is prepared. Germs that might be contained in the ingredients might not be destroyed, which could be particularly harmful to babies, small children and the sick. Never let the prepared infusion stand for several hours before consuming it.

While the boiling water destroys all germs contained in the herbal mixture, spores might survive. They may germinate in the warm water.

7. Cleaning and descaling
