capability to keep the water boiling at the energy
saving position, the appliance keeps the water hot
and supplies you constantly with it, when you are
working in the kitchen. Since heating is minimum
level when keeping the water boiling, water may
be available for long period of time before it eva-
porates.
PREPARING TEA (A)
Unwind of sufficiently of the power card that
is hidden beneath the energy transmitting
plate of your appliance and connect it to an
earthed socket. The unit may remain plug-
ged in provided that the main switch is tur-
ned off when the appliance is not used.
Fill the boiler with water between the maxi-
mum and minimum limits depending on the
amount of tea you want to brew
Place the boiler on the energy transmitting
plate and plug it in.
Open the lid of teapot and take off the tea
filter. Put a sufficient amount of tea leaves in
the filter, shortly pass it through cold water
and place the filter in the teapot.
Take the main switch in (ON) position and
the boiling switch in (
) position.
The red pilot light on the skirt will turn on and
the water will start heating. Water starts to
boil in 3-8 minutes depending on the amount
of water and switch automatically shifts to off
(
) position in order to reduce heating po-
wer to keep water boiling at minimum level
and to save energy. At that time, the white
pilot light in the glass body turns on.
Pour the boiled water on the tealeaves and
replace the teapot.
Add water into the boiler, if required. If you
do so, turn the boiling switch on again.
USAGE AS A KETTLE (B)
It can also be used in purpose of heating or boi-
ling water in the kitchen as a kettle. To do that, just
as in the tea making method, the boiler is filled
with water and placed on the energy transmitting
plate and the boiler is covered with the teapot or
lid and the main and boiling switches are turned
on. The unit boils the water in a short time and ke-
12
eps it boiled and when the kettle remains turned
on during the work in the kitchen, boiled water is
always available. When water is added, boiling
switch is taken to (
) position again to make
water boiled.
There may the condensed water on the
plate or main switch due to physical rea-
sons. This is a normal situation. This does not
mean that your tea machine is leaking water.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
After the tea service is over and boiled
water no longer needed, first of all the
main switch must be turned off (OFF).
Teapot and the filter can be washed ma-
nually or in dishwasher. The water in the
boiler is emptied and the unit is wiped with a
dry or damp cloth but it must never be immer-
sed in water.
Do not clean any accessories of the tea machine
using an abrasive and chemical cleaner (bleach,
hydrochloric acid etc.).
Removing Calcification
The lime in the water may accumulate on the boi-
ler bottom in time and burns to form a brown lay-
er, which reduces the boiler's efficiency. You can
remove it using sour salt (citric acid) or vinegar.
Using vinegar
Fill your appliance with vinegar and wait for 1
hour, and then empty the vinegar and rinse your
appliance with fresh water for 2-3 times.
Using citric acid (sour salt)
Fill the tea machine with water up to its maximum
level and add 25 grams of salt sour and boil it.
Wait for 15 minutes and then empty the machi-
ne and rinse with fresh water for 2-3 times. If re-
quired, repeat this procedure. Always add water
when using citric acid, do not clean without water.
