What is the minimum and maximum water level for the kettle?

The minimum filling quantity is 500 ml and the maximum is 1200 ml. Always observe the 'MIN' and 'MAX' markings on the glass jug.

How do I adjust the brewing temperature and steeping time for a specific tea program?

After selecting a program, press the 'Time/Temp' button to toggle between temperature and time. Use the '+' or '-' buttons to adjust. To save your settings permanently, press and hold 'Time/Temp' for at least 2 seconds until a long beep confirms.

What does the keep-warm function do and how long does it last?

The keep-warm function maintains the brewed tea at a temperature close to the brewing temperature for 30 minutes. It reheats periodically to prevent cooling.

Can I extend the keep-warm time?

Yes, during the keep-warm phase, press and hold the 'Time/Temp' button for at least 2 seconds to restart another 30-minute keep-warm cycle.

What should I do if the display shows error code E1?

How often should I descale the kettle?

Descaling is recommended every 2-3 weeks depending on water hardness and frequency of use. Use a vinegar solution (1/3 vinegar essence, 2/3 water) or a commercial descaler. Always remove the tea infuser before descaling.

Is the glass jug dishwasher safe?

The manual recommends not cleaning the accessories (jug, lid, infuser) in the dishwasher. Wash them by hand with hot water and mild detergent.

What does the quick-start 'Boiling' button do?

- Prior to cleaning, it is imperative to let cool down the appliance and all accessories!

Cleaning the appliance

• Clean the appliance and all accessories after each use.
• Wipe the base unit and glass jug with a moist cloth and dry it afterwards.
• Wash tea infuser, jug's lid and lid insert for the tea infuser in hot water with some detergent and dry it afterwards.

- Remove discolorations at the glass jug or the tea infuser by using a special brewer cleaner for coffee makers (obtainable in specialist shops).

- You may alternatively use a solution of water with salt, baking soda or lemon juice.

• We do not recommend cleaning the accessories in the dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasives or solvents; do not use sharp, scratchy objects!
• Do not treat the appliance or the accessories with a steam jet cleaner!

Decalcification

- A regular decalcification saves energy and grants full heating power as well as a good taste of tea and a long lifespan of the appliance.

- Heavy calcification may cause an overheating of the appliance and thus irreparable damage.

- The appliance should be descaled regularly in order to grant a proper functioning. Depending on the water hardness and the frequency of use, we recommend a decalcification every 2 - 3 weeks. This also applies if filtered water is used.

- Observe the following instructions for decalcification!

• Always remove the tea infuser before descaling the appliance.

- For decalcification, prepare 1 litre descaling agent made of vinegar water in the proportion of 1/3 vinegar essence and 2/3 water and pour it into the glass jug.

- Start operating the appliance by pressing the button "Boiling" and the button "Start/Stop" and heat up the descaling solution to about 80 °C. If the temperature is reached, stop the heating up process (press the button "Start/Stop" for 2 seconds or remove the glass jug from the base unit).

- Leave the descaling solution to take effect for some time.

- Then drain the descaling solution, rinse the glass jug and fill it with 1 litre of clear tap water.

- Start operation of the appliance with the button "Boiling" and the button "Start/Stop" and bring the water to a boil. Repeat this procedure as often as required.

• Afterwards clean the glass jug thoroughly.

- In case you use ordinary descaling agents, observe the manufacturer's instructions.

IMPORTANT: Non-observance of decalcification instructions will void all warranty rights in case of claims caused by a faulty functioning due to heavy calcification!

Troubleshooting

Failure Cause and remedy
Appliance without function. • Check if the mains plug is correctly inserted in the socket.• Check the power outlet by connecting a different appliance for a test.• Check if power cord or mains plug is damaged. If so, do not use the appliance.
Appliance cannot be switched on.	• Check if the glass jug is correctly placed on the base unit.
The display shows error code "E1".	• The appliance is overheated. Unplug and let it cool down. Do not use cold water for cooling down!Then start the appliance again.
The display shows error code "E2".	• Elektronic error.• Unplug the item from the mains.• Please contact our service department.
The display shows error code "E4".	• Elektronic error.• Unplug the item from the mains.• Please contact our service department.
The display shows error code "E7".	• Elektronic error.• Unplug the item from the mains.• Please contact our service department.
"Phase 3" (steeping time) cannot be started after "phase 2" (inserting the infuser) has been completed.	• The current water temperature is higher than the set brewing temperature. Wait until the water has cooled down to the set brewing temperature.Then start "phase 3" again by pressing the button "Start/Stop".
