Interval Boiling
For an energy-saving way to boil water, it is advisable to choose the interval boiling
setting. Here the thermostat regulates the supply of power as required. The device
switches off the heating element once the water has boiled and switches it back on again
as soon as the temperature of the water drops.
For this purpose, boil the water once (see the "Boiling Water" section). As soon as it boils,
turn the thermostat control (9) down so that the control lamp (11) goes out.
As soon as the thermostat switches the heating element back on, the control lamp lights
up again.
Switch off the device after each use by turning the control dial to the O position. Pull
the mains plug out of the plug socket and allow the device to cool down before it is
cleaned and / or stored away (see the "Cleaning and Care" chapter).
Tips For Making Tea
Not all tea is the same. In very literal terms, tea is just an aqueous infusion of the tea plant
Camellia sinensis. This may be black or green tea. A distinction should be made from tea-
like products, the so-called herbal and fruit teas.
This also means that not all tea-making can be the same. Depending on the variety,
teas are infused with water at a different temperature in order to bring out the valuable
ingredients and the fl avour of the particular variety on the one hand and also preserve
them on the other hand. For this reason, the different varieties also have infusion times of
different lengths.
Below we have summarised a few of the most important basics for making tea. But you
should also always note the preparation details provided on the packaging.
Black Tea
Proceed as follows to make black tea:
1. Pour water into the water reservoir (7) (see the "Operation" chapter | "Filling the Water
Reservoir").
2. Fill the tea strainer (2) with tea leaves (approx. one teaspoon per cup) or tea bags
(approx. 1 tea bag for 1 – 2 cups).
The more tea leaves or tea bags are placed in the tea strainer and the less water is
poured into the teapot, the stronger the tea concentrate will be. Tip: It is better to
add slightly more tea so that you really do get a concentrate (connoisseurs enjoy an
infusion with approx. 3 g for 200 ml of water).
3. Place the tea strainer in the teapot (3) and place the lid (1) on the teapot. It must click
audibly into place.
