• The dosage and amount of tea leaves depends on your personal taste. Basically,
2 to 3 g of tea leaves are good for 200 ml of water, meaning approx. 1 well filled
tea spoon per cup.
• The water quality has a deciding influence on the taste of the tea. We recom-
mend using filtered water.
• Very small tea leaves soak up the water faster than big leaves, the tannin there-
fore spreads out in the water more quickly. With longer steeping times, the tea
will become stronger (resp. possibly bitter) more quickly when using small leaves.
• If the amount of water is at or just above 500 ml, you should make sure that the
tea leaves in the tea strainer are completely covered in water. If necessary, use
a spoon to push the tea leaves down in the tea strainer.
•
You can put home-dried or fresh tea leaves into the tea strainer or a tea bag. As
a rule, all tea varieties should be placed in the jug in the tea strainer, do not put
any tea leaves / tea bags directly into the glass jug.

s HEATING THE WATER TO A PRESET
TEMPERATURE RESP. BRINGING IT TO
THE BOIL
With your Solis Tea Kettle Classic, you can simply heat water to one of the
4 temperatures resp. bring water to the boil.
• Place the water-filled jug without the tea strainer on the appliance base. The
outside of the jug and the appliance base have to be dry, the lid has to be closed.
• Plug the power plug into the power outlet. For a short moment, all button sur-
rounds light up in blue, after that, only the button surrounds of the START/STOP
button and the GREEN TEA button will light up.
•
Press a tea program resp. a button if you wish to heat water to the corresponding
temperature (75°/85°/90°/95°/100°). The blue button surround lights up around
the button.
• After that, press the START/STOP button, its button surround lights up in red and
the heating up process starts.
•
Once the desired temperature has been reached, a fivefold signal sounds and
the button surround of the selected program button flashes.
• If you have chosen the 100°/BOIL button, the appliance automatically
switches to the warm-keeping function for 30 minutes after completing the
boiling phase. The blue button surround of the 100°/BOIL button flashes slowly.
• If you have chosen another temperature (75°/85°/90°/95°), and wish to acti-
vate the warm-keeping function, you have to press the previously chosen
program button for at least 2 seconds while the blue button surround is
flashing. A sixfold signal sounds and the warm-keeping function is activated
for 30 minutes. The flashing intervals of the button surround change to slower
flashes.
•
If you wish to stop the program during the heating up phase, you can do this at
any time by pressing the START/STOP button for at least 2 seconds until a signal
sounds and the button surround of the START/STOP button changes to blue.
