PROPERTIES OF YOUR NEW GLASS TEA KETTLE
The Design Tea Aroma Plus glass tea kettle is intended for heating drinking water to
a selectable temperature in the range from 60°C to the boiling temperature (100°C).
Via a keep warm function, the selected temperature can be maintained for approx.
30 minutes (see: ‘Keep Warm Function’).
• A groove in the lid ring enables closing the lid correctly even with the tea filter inserted.
• During operation, various acoustic signals are given. A series of LEDs indicates
the course of the programmed operation.
• Temperature values and time settings are programmed in 8 various tea programs
and an additional program for boiling water (“100°C / Hot Water”).
• Any operation may be cancelled at any time via holding the “Start/Stop” button
pressed until the signal sounds.
• During operation, only the “Start/Stop” button is available (see below: ‘Program-
med Sequences and Acoustic Signals’). Any other operating elements are idle.
If you wish to make new entries, you need to cancel operation of any running
program and start anew.
• Via the glass kettle you can easily monitor the steeping process of your tea and
check for the colour at a glance without opening the lid.
PROGRAMMED SEQUENCES AND ACOUSTIC SIGNALS
When selecting the desired program, you can use 4 buttons for a quick selection of
frequently used applications. 5 additional programs are available via the selection
dial “Easy Select”. Each program is operated according to pre-programmed values
for the water temperature and steeping times. In standby mode, only the button of
the currently selected program is illuminated.
• When connected to the power supply, the appliance enters standby mode with
the tea program “75°C / Green Tea”, and the appropriate button is illuminated.
• When starting a tea program via the “Start/Stop”-button, the heating elements
start heating. As soon as the set temperature is reached, an acoustic signal
sounds and the appliance switches automatically to the waiting function (see:
‘Waiting Function’). At this point in time, you should apply the tea leaves and
press the “Start/Stop”-button again for starting the steeping time.
• At the beginning of the steeping time, all runtime LEDs are illuminated. While the
steeping time is running, the runtime LEDs will go out one by one. This enables
controlling the progress at a glance.
• At the end of steeping, another acoustic signal sounds and the appliance swit-
ches to the keep warm function automatically (see: ‘Keep Warm Function’).
