7. To start heating, press the Start/Stop button. The selected temperature button and the Start/Stop
button light up. You can interrupt the heating process at any time by pressing on the Start/Stop
button (11) or by removing the kettle from the base.
8. As soon as the desired temperature has been reached, the appliance beeps (several times at specific
intervals). The appliance switches off automatically. You can also switch off the appliance by
removing it from the base or by pressing the Start/Stop button.
Setting the brewing time
The appliance is supplied with preset brewing times for the preset temperature/programme buttons
(70°, 80°, 90°,100°C or „p"). If you wish to change these times depending on the type of tea, proceed as
follows:
▪ When you press the required temperature button, the preset brewing time is indicated on the
display.
▪ To change the brewing time, press the temperature button for more than 3 seconds until the
colon starts to flash between the numbers on the display. You can now adjust the brewing time by
repeatedly pressing the same temperature button, which increases in 30-second increments from 0
to 15 minutes.
▪ If the button is left unpressed for 8 seconds, the last time indicated on the display is saved and the
appliance switches off.
▪ Your individual brewing temperature is now linked to the corresponding heating up temperature.
▪ You can adjust the times as you wish.
Individually setting the brewing time and brewing temperature
The programme button „P" (9) enables you to set an individual brewing time and brewing temperature
for your very personal cup of tea. You can select temperatures from 60°C to 100°C and brewing times
from 0 to 15 minutes.
▪ Press the P button (9). The set temperature and brewing time that were used last flash alternately
on the display.
▪ To change the values, press the P button (9) again for more than 3 seconds until the colon
between the numbers on the display starts to flash. You can now set the brewing time by pressing
repeatedly on the P button, which increases in 30-second increments from 0 to 15 minutes. If you
stop pressing the P button, after a few seconds the appliance automatically saves the temperature
setting. The C behind the temperature flashes on the display. You can increase the temperature in
5°C increments by pressing the P button repeatedly.
▪ If the P button is left unpressed for 8 seconds, the values are saved, there is a beeping sound and
the appliance switches off.
Pre-boil function
The kettle is equipped with a pre-boil function. By boiling the water it is virtually sterile.
To activate this function, press the appropriate temperature button twice when choosing the desired
temperature (70°, 80° or 90° C). The temperature button selected and the 100° C button light up.
Press the Start/Stop button to start boiling.
Once the water has boiled, the 100° C button light goes out and the cooling process starts
automatically. The Start/Stop button flashes. The actual temperature of the water is indicated on the
display. As soon as the desired temperature has been reached, the appliance beeps (several times at
specific intervals). You can now prepare the tea and begin the brewing process or use the water for
another purpose.
Note: Please note that it takes several minutes for the water to cool down from 100° to 60° or 70° C.

Keep warm function
With the keep warm function you can keep freshly-brewed tea or hot water warm for up to 40
minutes. This function can only be used once the boiling and brewing processes have ended. It works
like a rechaud, whereby the last temperature to be used is used as the keep warm temperature.
To activate the keep warm function, press the Keep Warm button (10) and the Start/Stop button (11)
in succession. Both buttons light up and the remaining time is indicated on the display. The keep warm
function switches off automatically as soon as you remove the glass container from the base or the
40-minute keep warm period has lapsed.
Note: The keep warm function cannot be activated with a water temperature of 100°C.
Safety system
A thermostat protects the kettle from overheating due to accidental operation without water by
switching off the device.
It is essential to allow the kettle to cool down before filling with water.
Should the first thermostat malfunction due to improper use, an additional temperature limiter
provides reliable protection.

Cleaning and care

▪ Remove the mains plug and allow the appliance to cool down.
▪ Do not immerse the appliance in water, but rather clean it using a damp cloth with a little
washing-up liquid and then dry it.
▪ Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
▪ The inside of the kettle should be cleaned with warm water and a washing-up brush. To do this,
remove the sealed lid or the tea strainer lid.
▪ We recommend cleaning the glass container after each use to prevent tea deposits from forming.
You can descale the kettle for more stubborn stains or limescale build-up. (see the chapter entitled
"Descaling").
CAUTION: Never clean the kettle under running water.
The scale filter(3) in the pour spout can be removed for cleaning. To do this, pull the clip
on the filter upwards to remove the filter.
To position the filter, hold it by the clip, place it on top of the pouring spout and push
downwards. Make sure that the clip is positioned facing forwards towards the pour spout.
For easy cleaning, the scale filter (3), lid with tea strainer (1) and sealed lid (12) can be cleaned in the
washing machine.
