Green Tea; Cleaning And Maintenance - Beem Mr. Tea S 2.4.0 Mode D'emploi

• The teapot can be left on the water container when the appliance is operating, so you
can help yourself to more tea at any time. Position the knob somewhat above the
"●●" position (but not to the detent), so that the water remains hot but does not boil
continuously. The signal light will illuminate and extinguish in cycle. However, the
maximum heating setting should only be used for initial boiling of the water.
b) Green Tea
• Green tea can also be prepared with the Mr. Tea. Green tea should generally not be
brewed with boiling water as this gives it a slightly bitter taste. Depending on the kind
of tea, the ideal water temperature is 50 – 90 °C. Most green teas develop their
optimum taste at around 80 °C. The higher the quality of the green tea, the lower the
optimum water temperature. Teas of the highest quality are brewed with water at 50
– 60 °C.
• Normal green teas must infuse for 1 to 3 minutes, whilst high-grade green teas only
need around 1 to 1½ minutes. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions when
using tea bags.
• Green tea is always dosed less than black tea. Around 1 g per 100 ml or 1 level
teaspoon to 200 ml of water. You can determine the strength of the concentrate
yourself.
• Boil the water in the water container. Then pour some hot water into the cups (the
teapot has been pre-warmed on the water container during the boiling process). Then
turn the adjusting knob back to the "●"position (depending on the type of tea) and
allow the water to cool down a little (approx. 3 - 5 minutes). Now pour hot water
from the water container onto the tea (note the fill level mark (4)). Place the teapot
on top of the water container as described before so that the tea remains hot, and
then proceed as for black tea.

7. Cleaning and maintenance

The water container must be de-scaled every 1 - 2 weeks (depending on water quality
and frequency of use).
1. Switch off the appliance, disconnect it from the mains supply and allow it to cool.
2. Never immerse the appliance, the mains lead or water container in water. Just
wipe them with a damp cloth.
3. Fill the water container with water and either de-scaler or vinegar essence, and
very briefly heat up. Allow with the de-scaling mixture some time to have an
effect.
4. Rinse the container a few times with water and pour out the de-scaling mixture
along with the dislodged limescale. Leave a fraction of the decalcifying solution to
drain through the tap in order to rid it of any limescale which might be there: Rinse
with fresh water, and likewise let it run through the tap.
5. The teapot, the teapot lid and the steam element lid can also be cleaned in the
dishwasher.
6. Clean the appliance's exterior with a damp cloth, do not use abrasive cleaning
agents.
