Breville the Tea Maker BTM800 Manual page 5

Selecting the Tea Strength
The desired tea strength determines the
brew time. The correct brew time depends
on the tea type and your personal tea
strength preference.
The Tea Maker has 3 preset tea strengths
recommended to achieve Strong, Medium
or Mild tea brews. It also features a
customizable brew time setting to suit your
personal taste (see Page 15, Customizing
Brew Time).
7. To select a preset tea strength:
a) Press the TEA STRENGTH button
and toggle through until the desired
tea strength – 'Strong', 'Medium' or
'Mild' illuminates.
b) The LCD screen will display the preset
brew time recommended to achieve the
selected brew strength for the tea type
selected. This is displayed as the right
figure on the LCD screen.
8. Press the TEA|Cancel button to start
the tea brewing cycle. The button
surround will illuminate and the LCD
screen will display 'ON' and the real-
time heating progress in increments
of 5°F.
NOTE
The 'BREW TIME' can be adjusted
during the heating process but 'BREW
TEMP' cannot be changed once
the heating cycle commences.
To change the brew time press the right
ARROW UP button to increase the time,
or the right ARROW DOWN button
to decrease the time. The brewing time
can be adjusted in 30 second increments
up to a maximum of 10 minutes.
To change the brew temperature,
press the TEA|Cancel button to
cancel the heating cycle. Re-select the
brew temperature (see Page 15).
NOTE
If the Glass Jug is removed from the
Power Base during the water heating cycle,
the cycle will automatically cancel as a
safety precaution. Press the TEA|Cancel
button to recommence the cycle.
9. Once the selected brew temperature
is reached the assembled Basket will
automatically lower into the heated water.
10. Once the Basket reaches the bottom
of the Glass Jug, the LCD screen
will indicate the brewing progress,
automatically counting down in one
second increments. This is displayed as
the right figure on the LCD screen.
NOTE
If the Glass Jug is removed from the
Power Base during the brewing cycle,
the LCD screen will continue to count
down. The Tea Basket will automatically
return to the top of the Glass Jug once
the brew time has elapsed and the Glass
Jug is returned to the Power Base.
11. At the end of the tea brewing cycle, the
Basket will automatically rise to the top
of the Glass Jug to prevent over-brewing.
The tea alert will sound three times. The
LCD screen will automatically display
the 'Time Since Brew' function. This
function counts up to a maximum of
60 minutes, allowing you to monitor
the freshness of your brew. It does not
activate the heating elements.
Selecting the 'Keep Warm' Feature
This feature allows the brewed tea or
heated water to remain warm for up to 60
minutes. The 'Keep Warm' temperature
ranges between 120-175°F depending on
the original brew temperature selected. The
lower the brew temperature, the lower the
'Keep Warm' temperature.
