Gently touch the button for the type of tea you want to brew. If you use the personal

settings button, see section ‘Using the personal settings button’ in this chapter for additional

steps (Fig. 13).

, The water is heated to the preprogrammed temperature for the type of tea selected.
Note: If the buttons light up but cannot be operated, make sure that the surface of the base is dry.
Note: If you remove the teapot from the base while the water is being heated, the heating process is

aborted. To restart the heating process, put the teapot back onto the base and press the desired button

again.

Put tea leaves in the filter. The amount of tea leaves you use determines the strength of the

tea (Fig. 14).

Never put tea leaves directly in the teapot. Always use the filter to put the tea leaves in the

teapot.
Note: Most tea packages describe how much tea you should use. You can always adjust the amount to

your own preference.
Note: You can also use the appliance in combination with teabags and fresh herbal teas such as mint

leaves. Always put the teabag or tea leaves in the filter.

When you hear the bell sound, the water has reached the right temperature. (Fig. 15)

, If you do not put the filter in the teapot right after the bell sound, the appliance keeps the

water hot for 10 minutes. After 3, 6 and 9 minutes, the appliance repeats the bell sound as a

reminder. If you do not put the filter in the teapot within these 10 minutes, the appliance

switches off automatically.

Remove the lid and put the filter in the teapot (Fig. 16).

Wait a few seconds after the bell sound before you remove the lid and be careful: the steam that

comes out of the teapot is very hot.

, The appliance detects the presence of the filter and automatically starts the steeping process

(you do not have to press any button after you have placed the filter). The steeping time

depends on the quick-select button you have pressed or the setting you have set with

the personal settings button.

Put the lid back onto the teapot. First insert the lid positioning lip into the lid positioning

hole in the back of the filter (1). Then lower the front part of the lid onto the teapot (Fig. 17).

, The light ring indicates how much of the steeping time has passed by lighting up segment by

segment. When the tea is ready, the whole light ring flashes and you hear the bell sound again.

, To remind you to remove the filter on time, the bell sound is repeated after 30 seconds, 1

minute and 2 minutes. If you do not remove the filter from the teapot or the teapot from the

base within 5 minutes, the appliance switches off automatically.

Note: If you want, you can remove the teapot from the base after you have inserted the filter. In this case,

the light ring also keeps on tracking the steeping time. When the tea is ready, you hear the bell sound

and the appliance switches off automatically right away.

Remove the filter from the teapot and put it on the filter holder to minimise spillage (Fig. 18).

, When you remove the filter from the teapot or the teapot from the base after the bell

sound, the appliance switches off automatically.

The tea is now ready. Leave the lid on the teapot, with the positioning lip pointing to the

back, when you pour out the tea (Fig. 19).
