Do not boil any liquids other than water.
- The housing of the kettle becomes hot during operation. Therefore, hold the kettle only using the handle provided for this purpose.

- INITIAL USE

Check if the product and the components are intact and if the appliance is working properly when using it for the first time. Remove the kettle and the base station out of the packaging and connect the base to a properly installed earthed socket.
- Wipe the surface of the kettle using a slightly dampened cloth. To remove any manufacturing residues, fill the water container once with cold water up to the maximum mark before using it for the first time. Boil the water by first switching the appliance to full operation using the «ON/OFF» button (display is illuminated). Alternatively, you can also press the arrow keys «△/« » directly for the individual temperature setting until the displayed temperature reaches 100^ . Then press the «ON/OFF» button at the top of the base station to start the boiling operation. Discard the water after the initial boiling. Do not operate the appliance unattended and check it for damage and proper assembly before using it each time.

Repeat this process as needed.

- USAGE

Boiling water

Turn the lid counter-clockwise to the left to open it. Fill the kettle with cold water and replace the lid.
Note: A scale is provided on the outside. Do not fill the container above the maximum mark. The boiling water may spurt out if the kettle is overfilled. Make sure that the total quantity of water is only 1 l when brewing tea. The minimum quantity of water is 500 ml. When boiling water normally, the maximum quantity of water is 1.7 l. Then place the kettle on the base plate.
Next to the display on the base station, buttons are provided for selecting different water temperatures and for selecting the desired tea brewing time. Press the « / «▼ buttons of the individual temperature setting and the individual time setting to make the desired settings. You can find out more about making tea in the chapter «Boiling tea».

Press the «ON/OFF» button to start the boiling function subsequently. As soon as the water reaches the set temperature, the kettle switches off and you hear two beeps. Please remember that the boiling process may be interrupted briefly below 100^ by intermediate measurements. Please wait until the boiling process is finished. That is confirmed by the audible signal. The heating element switches off automatically and the boiling process is stopped. The appliance can now be lifted and the water can be used.

Boiling tea

Turn the lid counterclockwise to the left to loosen it.

○ Remove the tea sieve from the kettle and fill it with the desired amount of tea. An example for filling can be found in the table below:

Filling capacity	Cups / teaspoon
500 ml	approx. 2 cups / 2 teaspoons of tea
750 ml	approx. 3 cups / 3 teaspoons of tea
1 l	approx. 4 cups / 4 teaspoons of tea

Fill the water tank with fresh, cold tap water. When doing so, pay attention to the level indicator, fill with at least 0.5 liters and no more than 1.0 liter.
- Slide the tea strainer onto the pot column; it will be magnetically pulled into the correct position. Now put the lid back on and turn it clockwise to close it again.

• You can select pre-defined programs for appropriate types of teas. To do this, press the «TEA» button. The currently selected tea program is displayed next to the status LEDs.
  The options available are as follows: GREEN / BLACK / WHITE / HERB / OOLONG and CUSTOM.
  The default values for the corresponding settings are given in the following table:

Setting	Tempera-ture	Mild	Medium	Strong	Custom
Green	80 °C	2 min	3 min	4 min	0-10 min
Black	100 °C	1 min	2 min	3 min	0-10 min
White	85 °C	2 min	3 min	4 min	0-10 min
Herbal	100 °C	3 min	4 min	5 min	0-10 min
Oolong	90 °C	2 min	3 min	4 min	0-10 min
Custom	70-100 °C	3 min	4 min	5 min	0-10 min

The option of tea type «Custom» should be used if the pre-defined values do not give a satisfactory result, or the optimal values of the tea type used are too far from the pre-programmed values. First press the «TEA» button until the «Custom» LED starts glowing and then select the desired brewing time using the «» / «» buttons of the individual temperature setting. Then check the brewing times (see «Selecting the tea strength») or start the boiling process using the «ON/OFF» button.

Selecting the tea strength

You have the option to select the tea strength that affects the tea's steeping time.
O First, use the «Custom» button to choose between Mild, Medium or Strong.
If none of the above options give a satisfactory result, then use the «Custom» option. To do this, press the «Custom» button until the «Custom» LED starts glowing. Adjust the brewing time using the individual time setting buttons.

Keep-warm function

• You can keep the tea or boiled water warm for up to 30 minutes.
  The keep-warm function allows you to maintain a configured temperature. To do this, press the «Keep warm» button to activate the keep-warm function. The illuminated blue status ring of the button indicates that the keep-warm function is activated. To turn off the keep-warm function, press the «Keep warm» button again. As soon as the desired heating temperature is reached, it is maintained for about 30 minutes. Press the «ON/OFF» button to interrupt this operation. If you remove the kettle from the station during the keep-warm function, the appliance is switched to the standby mode.

Adjusting the brewing temperature and steeping time

• You can change the preset times as desired using the « »/« » buttons of the individual temperature and time settings.
  The temperature (individual temperature setting) can be adjusted between 70^ and 100^ in 5^ increments.
  The brewing time (individual time setting) can be adjusted between 0:00 and 10:00 minutes in 30 seconds increments.

Using this function, you can pre-program the appliance to a desired time, so that your appliance keeps the water or tea ready, e.g. in the morning for breakfast.
Fill the appliance with either water or tea and water. Always note the respective maximum filling levels.
To do this, press the «AUTOSTART» button until the blue status ring of the button starts glowing.
The display now changes to the programming overview, which is indicated by the small clock symbol « at the top of the display.
In addition, two times are shown on the display. On the left is the «CURRENT TIME», which represents the present time. On the right, you can see the «START TIME» which represents the switch-on time.
To adjust the times, press and hold the «AUTOSTART» button for 2 seconds.
The «CURRENT TIME / START TIME» indicators start flashing in the display.
The appliance now waits 20 seconds for your input. If there is no input during this time, the appliance switches off and you will have to start the process again.
- Now adjust the current time. To do this, use the « »/ « » buttons of the individual temperature setting, then the switch-on time using the « / « »» Buttons of the individual time setting.
- When programming, pay attention to the 12-hour AM/PM classification (AM = midnight to noon / PM = 12 noon to midnight).
Close or activate the «AUTOSTART» function by pressing the «ON/OFF» button.

If the programming of the AUTOSTART function is successful, the status rings of the "AUTOSTART" and "ON/OFF" buttons glow continuously.

- DESCALING AND CLEANING

We recommend descending the kettle at regular intervals depending upon the intensity of use. Before cleaning, pull out the power plug and wait until the appliance cools down completely. Please use only commercially available descending agents based on citric acid to descale the water container.
For the appropriate dosage, please refer to the specifications on the package or insert of the descending agent. The heating plate should not be specifically cleaned. Do not use any hard objects on the heating plate.

Use only a damp cloth for cleaning the kettle externally. Do not use any abrasive items like wire brush or steel sponge for cleaning. Never use any cleaning agents which may corrode the surface or present a health risk if consumed! Never immerse the appliance, the power cable or the plug in water or in any other liquid to prevent risk of electric shock.
