- After 5 to 12 minutes, according to the quantity of water, your infusion/brew will have reached the correct temperature.
•Note: the brew can be stopped manually to obtain a cooler and/or less strongly brewed drink. To do so, press the “8” button.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
The combination of (limescale) scale and tannin from tea (brown deposit) in your tea- pot can lead to impaired performance (tea not so well brewed or not hot enough).
Furthermore, the taste of tea tends to impre- gnate 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 damp sponge and wipe the plastic parts with a damp cloth.
-Put the brewing basket and lid under hot water using your usual washing up liquid.
-Always check that the electrical connec-
tions 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 vine- gar (available from hardware stores):
-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.
Empty your teapot and rinse it 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.
Never use another method for descaling than that recommended.
IF A PROBLEM OCCURS
-If the teapot fails to work, make certain:
•that it has been correctly plugged in
•that it is not scaled up
•that the discs in the bottom of the brewing basket’s rod are not blocked.
•that it was correctly filled with water; if not, fill and then press button “7” again.

PREVENTING DOMESTIC ACCIDENTS
For children, even minor burning or scalding can sometimes be serious.
As they grow, teach your children to be extre- mely careful where there are hot liquids to be found in the kitchen. Place the teapot and its power cord well to the back of the work area, out of reach of children.
In the event of an accident, cool the burn or scald under cold running water immediately and call a doctor if necessary.
•To avoid accidents, do not carry your child or baby when you are drinking or carrying
a hot drink.
