Operating the

The Tea Maker uses tea
leaves or teabags.
Tea Leaves
1Place the tea leaves into the
Tea Basket fl.
2Pour the desired amount of
water into the Jug ⁄.
• The amount of tea leaves and
water will affect the strength
of the tea brewed. The
strength of a cup of tea is
purely down to personal
taste. Use the supplied
strength chart on page 5 to
help you make tea to your
desired taste. Alternatively it
is suggested that you
experiment with the amount
of tea leaves and water in
order to create your preferred
taste.
3Insert the Tea Basket fl into
the Hopper ‡, place into the
Jug ⁄, and lock the lid into
place.
Tea Bags
Remove the Tea Basket and
place the tea bags into the
Hopper ‡.
Using the Hopper means
there is more room for the
tea to be submerged in the
water, creating a nicer taste.
It is suggested that 1 tea bag
per person is used, minimum
1 tea bag, maximum 6 tea
bags.
4Place the Jug on the Base
¤. The default brewing
settings will be displayed
(3 on the Strength Gauge
and 85º on the Temperature
Gauge.)
Inorderto reduce staining we

Taking care of your
Tea Maker
WARNING: Always disconnect the plug from the mains and allow the appliance to cool
before cleaning.
In order to reduce staining we recommend that your tea maker is cleaned daily.
• Thoroughly wash the jug and all of its brewing components with warm water. Do not immerse the jug
into the water.
To remove any stubborn stains from your tea maker we recommend that you use Milton Sterilising
Fluid, (found in the baby aisle of supermarkets and pharmacies.)
• Add 7ml of Milton sterilising fluid to the unit and fill to the top of glass body with cold water and leave
for 30 minutes, using a plastic kitchen brush to gently agitate the stained areas if required.
When using the plastic kitchen brush care must be taken around the vent dome on the element to
prevent dislodging/damage.
For stubborn stains it may be necessary to repeat this process 2 to 3 times.
For any queries relating to Milton fluid, please call 0800 097 5606
or visit www.milton-tim.com
• Once complete, rinse the unit thoroughly with warm water and then run the boil cycle with clean water
only & repeat 2-3 times. If there is any residual taste from the cleaning product repeat the rinsing
process again.
• For general cleaning wipe outer surfaces with a soft damp cloth, care must be taken when cleaning to
ensure no electrical connections make contact with water. Do not immerse in water.

Descaling
IMPORTANT: As this
appliance is fitted with a
concealed element it must be
descaled regularly. The
frequency of descaling
depends on usage and the
hardness of the water in your
area.
Excessive scale can cause
the appliance to switch off
before boiling or reaching
temperature and may
damage the element
invalidating the warranty.
It is essential that regular
descaling takes place.
Remove hard scale using a
proprietary descaling product
suitable for stainless steel,
glass or plastic.
Alternatively use citric acid
crystals (available from most
pharmacies) as follows:
1Fill the appliance 3/4 full, boil,
then remove the Tea Maker
from the base unit and stand
it in an empty sink or bowl.
2Gradually add 50gm of citric
acid crystals to the water,
then leave the Tea Maker to
stand. Do not use a more
concentrated solution.
3As soon as the effervescence
subsides, empty the
appliance and rinse it
thoroughly with cold water.
4Wipe the outside of the
appliance thoroughly with a
damp cloth to remove all
traces of acid which may
damage the finish.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the
electrical connections are
completely dry before using
the appliance.
5Fill the Tea Maker with water
and run a brewing cycle with
an empty Tea Hopper.
Discard the water after the
brewing process has
completed.
