Overheating protection
The appliance is equipped with the overheating protection. It is activated, when
the water tank is empty (or the amount of water is too little). In such a situation
disconnect the appliance from the power supply (pull the plug out). Before the water
tank is filled with fresh potable water, leave the appliance for a couple of minutes to
cool down.

Tea preparation
To obtain a valuable product and taste, the tea is poured with water of different
temperature and brewed through various periods of time.
Black tea is prepared with boiling hot or hot water.
Perfect water temperature for preparation of green tea is approx. 50°C –70°C. The
majority of green teas reaches optimum taste at approx. 70°C. The better quality of
the green tea, the lower the optimum water temperature. The high quality tea is
brewed in water with the temperature of 50°C –60°C.
Herbal, fruit, rooibos and spicy teas should be poured with boiling water only and
brewed for at least 5–10 minutes. This is the only way to obtain a safe grocery's
product, as herbal tea blends, in rare cases, there may be some germs present,
e.g. salmonella, which die in the process of heating up. When prepared improperly,
they may pose threat to health, especially when it comes to teas for children.
NOTE: Always keep the information about the preparation process that is
put on the packaging.
Preparation of tea essence in tea jug
The enclosed tea jug may be pre-heated already in the phase of boiling water, by
putting it on the steaming insert.
1. Remove the water tank lid.
2. Put the tea jug on the steaming insert.
3. Boil water.
4. To prepare the tea essence, remove the tea jug from the water tank.
WARNING!
Risk of scalding!
Hot steam is coming out of the water tank.
Hot condensed water may drip from the bottom of the tea jug to the tea.
Use a dish washing cloth to remove the tea jug.
5. Remove the lid from the tea jug.
6. Put the enclosed tea strainer into the tea jug.
7. Put some tea leaves into the tea strainer (approx. 1 teaspoon per cup) or put the
tea bag directly into the tea jug (approx. 1 tea bag per approx. 1–2 cups).
8. Then pour the tea with boiling water via the drain tap of the appliance.
9. The tea jug may hold maximum of 0.6 litres of water.
The more the tea leave or the tea bags, and the less the water is poured into the
tea jug, the stronger will be the tea essence (tea connoisseurs fancy tea brew of

Installation and operation
16 / 22 191004
EN
exactly 2.86 g of tea per cup). It is recommended to take more tea to have a real
tea essence brewed in the tea jug.
The strength of the tea essence may be established according to own liking.
Observe the brewing time indicated on the tea packaging, as it differs for each type
of tea.
10.Reinsert the tea jug with the tea essence on the steaming insert of the water
tank. The steam in the water tank keeps the tea in the tea jug in ideal
temperature for the tea to draw.
11.When the time needed for the tea to draw elapses, remove the tea strainer (tea
bag) from the tea jug.
12.Then pour the required amount of tea essence from the tea jug to the tea
glass/cup and top up the glass/cup with the water from the water tank.
This way you may differentiate the strength and taste of the tea.
13.The tea jug may be left on the water tank, when the appliance is in the keeping
warm mode, to be able to pour hot water any given time.
Switching the appliance off
1. Switch the appliance off by placing the keeping warm (b) rocker switch in the 'O'
position.
2. Then disconnect the appliance from the mains socket (pull the plug out).

be descaled every 1–2 weeks.
2. Perform the following steps:
–Fill the water tank with approx. 500 ml of fresh potable water.
–Add vinegar or 1 package (15 g) of Bartscher B15-30 descaler (art. no.
190065) to the water. Observe the indications on the packaging,
–Boil the prepared solution.
–Pour part of the solution through the drain tap to remove limescale
deposits in the drain tap.
–Boil the descaling solution at least 1–2 times more.
–Leave the appliance to cool down for some time.
–Remove the descaling solution after the procedure is finished.
–Rinse the water tank thoroughly and multiple times with clean water.
–Drain part of the water through the drain tap.
3. If the limescale is deposited also in the tea jug, descale it with the water and
vinegar solution.
