Safety information
 Danger – electric shock!
• Ensure that the base with the electrical connections does not come into contact
with water! Ensure that the base is completely dry before use, especially if it has
accidentally become wet.
• Use the appliance only with the supplied base.
• Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet or damp during operation.
Lay the cable so that it cannot be trapped or otherwise damaged.
• To avoid potentially fatal risks, arrange for a defective power plug and/or
cable to be replaced at once by qualified technicians or our Customer Service
Department.
• Always remove the plug from the mains power socket after use. Simply switching
the appliance off is not sufficient, as the appliance is under power for as long
as the plug is connected to the socket.
NEVER submerse the appliance in water or other liquids! There is a risk of
electric shock!

Warning - Risk of injury!
• Always heat the water with a closed lid, otherwise the automatic cut-out may not
work. Boiling water can then spray out over the edge.
• Hot steam clouds may be released. The glass pot also becomes very hot during
use. Wear oven mitts.
• Make certain that the appliance stands firmly and vertically before switching it on.
Boiling water can cause an instable kettle to fall over.
• Exercise caution with the glass pot. Broken glass can cause serious cut wounds.
• Never fill it with more water than to the MAX marking. If you do, boiling water
may spray out and lead to scalds.
• Do not open the lid while the water is boiling.

Before the First Use
• Remove all packaging materials from the appli-
ance.
• Carefully rinse all parts of the brewing system
(brew chamber 0, water riser pipe q, Sieve w)
and the glass pot 3(see chapter “Cleaning
and Care”).
Proceed as follows before the first usage:
1. Remove the glass pot 3from the base 5.
2. Fill the glass pot 3up to the MAX marking with
water, then add a teaspoon of lemon juice (or le-
mon concentrate) to it. If lemon juice is not avai-
lable, you could add a teabag (or a teaspoon of
loose tea) directly into the water.
3. Replace the brew system in the glass pot 3.
4. Close the lid 1and replace the glass pot 3on
the base 5.
5. Switch the appliance on with the On/Off switch 8.
The control lamp 4and the On/Off switch 8
light up. Wait until the control lamp 4goes out.
6. Switch the appliance off with the On/Off switch 8
and then clean the appliance as described in
“Cleaning and Care”.
The Tea Automat is now ready for use.
Operation
Attention:
DO NOT put any sugar into the Tea Automat.
DO NOT heat milk or alcohol in the tea automat.
This would irreparably damage the appliance.
Note:
Green tea is not suitable for brewing in the Tea
Automat. The ideal brewing temperature for green teas
lies at around 70°C. At higher brewing temperatures,
such as those generated in the Tea Automat, tannic
acids are released. The tea will taste bitter.
1. Remove the glass pot 3from the base 5.
2. Open the lid 1and take out the brew system.
Place the brew system on a level and even surface.
3. Pour the desired quantity of water into the glass
pot 3. NEVER fill it with more water than to the
MAX marking, and never with less than to the
MIN marking.
Danger!
To avoid scalds/burns and electric shocks, ensure
that water does not overflow from the glass pot 3.
4. Take hold of the brew system and pull the water
riser pipe qwith the sieve wupwards.
5. Place the necessary amount of tea or number of
teabags in the brew chamber 0.
Note:
Ensure that no labels or teabag strings remain in the
appliance.
6. Replace the brew system in the glass pot 3.
Ensure that the water riser pipe qsits firmly in
the recess on the bottom of the glass pot 3.
The brew chamber 0must be positioned with
the flattened side towards the handle 2.
7. Close the appliance lid 1.
8. Replace the glass pot 3back on to the base 5.
9. Insert the plug into a wall power socket and place
the On/Off switch 8at the position “I”. The
control lamp 4and the On/Off switch 8light up.
The water is now boiled and forced upwards
through the water riser pipe qto flow through the
brew chamber 0and then back into the glass pot 3.

After the water has boiled, the appliance automati-
cally switches itself into the keep-warm function. The
control lamp 4goes out, only the On/Off switch 8
continues to glow. As soon as the water cools, the
Tea Automat warms the water back up. The control
lamp 4lights up again during this rewarming process.
Note:
As the water is fed back through the brewing system
during the rewarming, after the first brewing process
you should remove the brew system from the glass
pot 3.
Risk of personal injury!
The brew system is very hot! There is a risk of being
burnt! Use oven gloves when you take hold of the
brew system.
Note:
The longer the brew is kept warm, the greater is
the amount of fluid evaporated, and thus the brew
becomes stronger.
We therefore recommend that the tea be drunk as
soon as possible after brewing.
You can interrupt the brew process at any time:
For this, place the On/Off switch 8back into the
position “0”. The brew process is finished.
If you remove the glass pot 3from the base 5,
the brew process is interrupted.
Attention:
Always first let the glass pot 3cool down before
you pour in fresh cold water for another brewing
process! Otherwise, tension may be created in the
glass pot 3and it could shatter.
Overheating protection
In the event of overheating, thermal protection switches
the heating element off inside the appliance. The
On/Off switch 8remains lit, the appliance however
does not continue to heat up.
The thermal protection is activated if no or not enough
water is in the glass pot 3and the appliance is
switched on anyway.
If the thermal protection function has switched the
heating element off, please proceed as follows:
• Allow the appliance to cool down.
• Press the Reset button 6in the underside of
the glass pot 3.
The appliance can now be used again.
Cleaning and care
Risk of personal injury!
ALWAYS remove the plug before cleaning the ap-
pliance. There is a risk of electric shock! Allow the
appliance to cool down. Risk of Burns!
NEVER submerse the appliance in water or
other liquids! There is a risk of electric shock!
The appliance could also be irreparably
damaged!
To obtain an optimal result with every brew process
the appliance should be cleaned after every use.
This will avoid, that:
• the combination of scale and tannins, caused by
boiling the water and the tea brewing, impair
the function of the Tea Automat;

• regular use of the Tea Automat could perhaps
cause it take on aromas from strongly aromatic
teas and pass them to other tea sorts.
Clean the glass pot 3of the Tea Automat with a
moist cloth. For stubborn soiling use a mild detergent
on the cloth. Rinse the glass pot 3afterwards with
copious amounts of clear water to remove all deter-
gent residues. The recess on the bottom of the glass
pot 3can easily be cleaned using a washing-up
brush.
Attention:
Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemical or caustic
detergents. These could irreparably damage the
appliance!
Clean the brew system with warm water and a liquid
detergent:
You can clean the brew chamber 0and the sieve w
with a washing-up brush. Clean the riser tube q with
the aid of the riser tube brush 9.
After cleaning it, rinse the entire brewing system well
with clear water to ensure that no detergent residues
remain on or in it.
Scale removal
The mineral content (hardness) in the water causes,
over a period of time, a calcification of the appliance.
This calcification impairs the appliance in its function,
diminishes the quality of the brewed tea and
increases the energy consumption.
Note:
Enquire at your local waterworks about the hardness
level of your mains water. The need for decalcification
comes early in hard water areas, somewhat later
in soft water areas. Use a decalcifier designed for
household appliances and pay heed to the usage
instructions.
1. Use a standard household descaling agent based
on citric acid. Follow the preparation instructions
on the packaging of the descaler.
2. Place the brew system in the glass pot 3.
3. Tip the descaler solution into the glass pot 3.
Never pour in more liquid than to the MAX mar-
king, and never less than to the MIN marking.
4. Wait for 10 minutes and then switch the
appliance on.
5. Allow the solution to boil and wait until it has
passed through the brew system.
6. Should it be necessary, repeat the process.
You can use the descaler solution once again;
however, first let it cool down.
7. When the scale has dissolved, allow 2 - 3 fillings
of clear water to boil and then flow through the
brewing system.
8. Afterwards, clean the glass pot 3and the
brewing system as described in chapter,
"Cleaning and Care".
Storage
• If you do not intend to use it for an extended
period, wrap the power cable anti-clockwise
around the cable winder on the underside of
the base 5and run the end through the cable
outlet on the base 5.
• Store the appliance in a dry and dust free location.
