• Do not use for any purpose other than boiling water. Do not fill with any other liquids or solutions.
• Before using for the first time, wash the inside of your tea maker by putting water inside. Boil water two to three times inside of the kettle, and replace the water after each boiling. Make sure that device is filled with water up to the maximum level when doing this. After each time of boiling, pour out the hot water and rinse the inside of the device with cold water.
• After boiling the water, some powder-like sediment may form due to hardness of the water. This is quite natural and has no adverse effects whatsoever on human health.

Filling with water

• Steep the tea using boiled water and relocate the teapot in its place. Add some water to the kettle if necessary. When cold water added to the kettle press the boiler button again.

Heating water

• You can use the tea maker for the purpose of heating and boiling water also, if required.
• After filling with water between the minimum and maximum level, place the kettle group onto the power base unit, put the lid of the kettle, and turn the switch to the position downward, as with the same procedure of steeping tea.
• After boiling water in a short time, the appliance switches to "keep warm" function. Your boiled water will be ready continuously, when the kettle is hold in the position downward during the course of use.
• The heating process is at the minimum level during the “keep warm” function, which keeps any available water ready for a prolonged period of time, and not allows the water to evaporate quickly.
• If some cold water is added to the kettle or water in the kettle cooled during serving, the appliance switches to the boiling function automatically, in order to provide boiling in a short period of time, providing the kettle is placed on the power unit and switch is turned on.
