USING THE GLASS TEA KETTLE
Before first use
Before using your Glass Tea Kettle for
the first time, wash the kettle and steeper
assembly, including the lid, in hot, soapy
water, then rinse with clean water and dry�
Fill the Glass Tea Kettle with water to the
MAX fill line, place the steeper assembly
in the Glass Tea Kettle, and run one cycle
at the maximum temperature� To avoid
damage, do not fully immerse the Glass
Tea Kettle in water, and do not use abrasive
cleaners or scouring pads�
NOTE: The entire Glass Tea Kettle is
hand-wash only� To avoid damage, do
not wash any part of the Glass Tea Kettle,
steeper, lids, steeper holder or the base
with power cord in a dishwasher�
PREPARING THE GLASS TEA KETTLE FOR USE

12 | USING THE GLASS TEA KETTLE
NOTE: Making the perfect cup of tea is easy with the KitchenAid Glass Tea Kettle� Water
temperature and steep time are two key elements for optimal tea flavour� For best results,
follow the recommendation on your tea’s packaging for suggested water temperature
and steep times� If it does not have these suggestions, see the chart below� Keep in mind,
steep time determines flavour, so use a timer to find your perfect strength�
Warm Mode: Warm is designed to keep your tea warm at the optimal drinking
temperature 70°C�
NOTE: Some teas call for different temperatures� Check your tea package for
suggested steeping times and temperatures�

or tags off of the tea bag, and place
the tea bag directly into the tea
steeper� Brew your tea as normal�
2
Placing tea bags directly into the
Glass Tea Kettle: After the water
reaches the correct temperature for
brewing (see the “Steeping chart”),
lift the tea steeper lid off of the
Glass Kettle, and place the tea bag
string over the inner edge of the
kettle lid� Then, insert and twist the
tea steeper lid to catch the string

Fill the Glass Tea Kettle with filtered
water up to the desired level for the
amount of tea you want to brew� Do
not fill past the Max line�
2
Put the lid back on the Glass Tea
Kettle, without the steeper� The
two lids are properly locked into
each other when the indicator on
the tea steeper lid is lined up with
the indicator next to the locked
symbol on the kettle lid� After
locking the lids together, place
the Glass Tea Kettle onto the
power base�

Select the appropriate temperature
for the kind of tea you are brewing
by sliding the temperature selector
to the correct setting� See the
“Steeping chart” for more detailed
information�

USING THE GLASS TEA KETTLE
NOTE: For tea that does not include
brewing directions, start with 15 g per
300 ml cup� Add more tea if the flavour is
too weak, and less tea if the flavour is too
strong� Experiment for the best flavour�
TIP: For best results, we recommend pre-
wetting the tea leaves in the steeper with
a little warm water before the steeper is
added to the kettle� (This can be done
while the steeper is in the steeper holder)�
This will allow the leaves to settle into the
steeper during the steeping process�
5
While the water is heating, place the
tea steeper in the tea steeper holder
to keep it steady while filling it with
tea leaves (or tea bags)� Follow the
instructions on the tea packaging for
the amount of tea to use�
OPTIONAL: To boil water instead of
steeping tea, slide the temperature
selector to HERBAL (100°C)�
6
Once the water reaches the correct
temperature for brewing your
selected tea, a chime will sound
and the light around the I/O (on/off)
button will stop flashing, but remain
lit, indicating that the water is ready
for steeping the tea�
7Remove the tea steeper lid from the
kettle after the desired temperature
is reached�

onto the tea steeper� Use a slight pressure
to rotate the tea steeper lid when placing
on the tea steeper� Do not over-rotate�
