Refilling with water
WARNING
Filling up the hot container can cause
steam to escape and lead to scalding!
► Turn the rotary switch (8) anticlockwise
until it stops.
► Allow the appliance to could down for a
few minutes before refilling with water
(see Filling with water, page 21).
NOTE
► If you forget to fill with water, the
boil-dry protection will switch off the
appliance.
► Switch off the appliance and wait
5–10 minutes so that it can cool
down. Then fill the water tank again
with water (see Filling with water,
page 21). Switch on the appliance

Information on making tea
Tea is not just tea. Strictly speaking, tea is
only a water infusion of the tea plant ca-
mellia sinensis. This infusion can be black
or green tea. A distinction must be made
between this and tea-like products such as
the so-called herbal and fruit teas.
Therefore, brewing tea is not always just
brewing tea. In order to preserve valuable
ingredients and the taste, teas are brewed
with water at different temperatures and
allowed to steep for different lengths of
time. For example, green tea is prefer-
ably brewed with water heated to 65° C.
In every case, the brewing instructions on
the packaging should be observed.

Black tea
To brew black tea, proceed as follows:
Fill the water tank with water.
‹
Fill the teapot with tea leaves (approx.
‹
one teaspoon per cup) or tea bags (1
tea bag for approx. 1 – 2 cups).
Close the lid of the water tank and
‹
subsequently put the teapot on top of
it. The teapot is then warmed up at
the same time.
Boil the water in the water tank (see
‹
section Heating water, page 22).
Take the teapot off the water tank.
‹
NOTE
► Condensation may drip off the bot-
tom of the teapot.
Pour boiling water from the water tank
‹
over the tea.
NOTE
► The more tea leaves or tea bags and
the less water you fill into the teapot,
the stronger the tea concentrate will
be (professionals enjoy an infusion
with approx. 3 g tea for 200 ml of
water). It is preferable to use slightly
more tea so that a real concentrate
is produced in the teapot.
Place the teapot with the tea con-
‹
centrate on the water tank again.
The steam rising from the water tank
keeps the tea in the teapot at exactly
the temperature it needs to "steep".
