BREWING TEA
NOTE:
'Keep Warm' feature will not activate
and will not function if water
temperature is below
120°F.
Selecting the 'Basket Cycle' Feature
This feature continuously auto lifts and
lowers the Basket during the tea brewing
cycle. This movement loosens the tea
leaves within the Basket, allowing the
heated water to circulate freely around
the tea leaves for maximum infusion.
NOTE:
The 'Basket Cycle' can signifi cantly
increase the rate of infusion and
affect the tea strength. You may
consider reducing the initial tea
strength / brew time (see Page 16
and 21) when using the 'Basket
Cycle' feature.
NOTE:
It is recommended that this feature
is used only when making between
1000mL (approx. 4 cups/32oz.) to
1200mL (approx. 5 cups/40oz.).

BOILING OR HEATING WATER
USE AS A VARIABLE
TEMPERATURE KETTLE
The Tea Maker can be used for boiling
or heating water to a customizable
temperature.
NOTE:
If you have used the Glass Jug
for making tea we recommend
thoroughly cleaning the interior
of the Jug and removing the
Tea Basket before boiling or
heating water.

Fill the Glass Jug with the desired
amount of water. Do not fi ll over the
water maximum mark (1500mL
WATER MAX).

To boil water (212°F):
Press the left
ARROW UP button
to increase the temperature to 212°F.
The 'Custom' LED will automatically
illuminate.
b) To heat water to a customized
temperature:
Press the left
ARROW UP button
to increase the temperature, or the
left
ARROW DOWN button to
decrease the temperature. The
temperature can be adjusted in 5°F
increments from 160°F to 205°F, then
a maximum of 212°F (or in the Celsius
mode, 5°C increments from 70°C to
a maximum of 100°C). The 'Custom'
LED will automatically illuminate.
NOTE:
Once a customized temperature
has been selected and one tea
making or water heating cycle has
been activated, the customized
temperature setting will remain in
the memory of the Tea Maker until
you change it. To return to default

Once the selected temperature is
reached, 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 when the
water heating cycle was complete. It
does not activate the heating elements.
6.
The Tea Maker has a 'Keep Warm'
Feature that allows brewed tea or
heated water to remain warm for up
to 60 minutes. This feature can be
activated before, during or after the
water heating cycle (see Page 17,
Selecting the 'Keep Warm' Feature).
