-The water will be sucked in and heated before going up in the pump and sprinkling the tea leaves and running out through the brewing basket (Fig 3).
-After 5 to 12 minutes, according to the quantity of water, your infusion/brew will have reached the correct temperature and the light will go off.
•Note: the brew can be stopped manually to obtain a cooler and/or less strongly brewed drink. To do so, press the “0” button.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The combination of (limestone) fur and tannin from tea (brown deposit) in your teapot can lead to impaired performance (tea not so well brewed or not hot enough).
Furthermore, the taste of tea tends to impregnate the appliance and is likely to impair the taste of the various varieties you may brew later
To avoid this happening, the whole teapot needs to be cleaned after each use.
To clean your teapot:
-Disconnect it
-Let it cool down
-Rinse the inside of the glass pot with a wet sponge and wipe the plastic parts with a wet cloth.
-Put the brewing basket and lid under hot water using your usual washing up liquid.
-Always check that the electrical connections remain dry.
•DO NOT USE scouring pads or any other abrasive liquid, especially on the bottom heating assembly, as this could damage your teapot.
DESCALING
Descale your teapot regularly, preferably every 20 to 40 uses, and more often if your water contains a lot of limestone.
To descale your teapot:
•Use commercially available 8° white vinegar:
-Fill the teapot with 1/2 litre of vinegar,
-Let this stand for 1 hour cold
•Citric acid:
-Heat up 1/2 litre of water
-Add 25g of citric acid and allow to stand for 15 min.
