HEATING CLEAR WATER
Note
After preparing tea within the kettle, you should clean the kettle thoroughly, before
heating water for any other purpose. This way, you avoid carrying over tea aro-
mas (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’). This holds especially after preparing very aroma-
tic types of tea intermediately.
Heating Water to a Selected Temperature
You may use the tea programs without the tea filter or a tea bag for simply heating
water to the set temperature and keeping it warm for up to 30 minutes. For this,
operate the appliance according to the instructions given above (see: ‘Making Tea’),
but without the tea filter.
If you wish to keep the water warm at the set temperature for more than 10 minutes
(see: ‘Waiting Function’), you may skip over the steeping time and switch to the keep
warm function manually (see: ‘Keep Warm Function’).
1. For starting the keep warm function when the set temperature is reached, wait
until the first acoustic signal (the steeping time may be started) has been given.
2. Then, for switching the appliance to the keep warm function immediately, hold
the flashing button pressed until the signals sounded.
Heating Water to the Boil
The program “100°C / Hot water” is somewhat different to the tea programs. With
this program running, after the set temperature is reached and the water is boiling
vigorously, the appliance switches to the keep warm function immediately. To avoid
excessive energy loss and a fast dropping of the filling level in the kettle due to exces-
sive amounts of steam escaping, the temperature of the keep warm function is limi-
ted to 90 - 95°C. The keep warm function keeps the water hot for up to 30 minutes.
Important:
The keep warm function runs on even if the kettle has been removed
from the base intermediately. However, to keep the water hot, you must press the
flashing “Start/Stop” button shortly after replacing the kettle. Otherwise, the water
will cool down.Prepare the appliance for operation (see above: ‘Preparing the
Appliance for Operation’).
