ELECTRIC TEA MAKER

Intended Usage

This appliance is intended for brewing tea and then

keeping it warm. This appliance is intended for do-

mestic use only, it is not suitable for commercial or

industrial applications.

Safety information

To avoid potentially fatal injury through

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 de-

fective 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.



To avoid burns and other injuries:

• 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.

• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals

(including children) with restricted physical, physio-

logical or intellectual abilities or deficiences in

experience and/or knowledge unless they are

supervised by a person responsible for their

safety or receive from this person instruction in

how the appliance is to be used.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that

they do not play with the appliance.

• Do not use an external timing switch or a separate

remote control system to operate the appliance.

You can thus prevent the appliance from

being damaged:

• Under no circumstances should you fill the ap-

pliance with cold water immediately after a brewing

process. It could form stresses in the glass, causing

it to break!

Before the First Use

• Remove all packaging materials from the appli-

ance.

• Carefully rinse all parts of the brewing system

(brew chamber q, water riser pipe w, Sieve e)

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

Warning:

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.

IB_66500_STK650A1_LB3 01.06.2011 9:17 Uhr Seite 3

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.

Important!:

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 wwith the sieve eupwards.

5. Place the necessary amount of tea or number of

teabags in the brew chamber q.

Important:

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 wsits firmly in

the recess on the bottom of the glass pot 3. The

brew chamber qmust 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 wto flow through the

brew chamber qand 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 pro-

cess.

Important:

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.

Important!:

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.

IB_66500_STK650A1_LB3 01.06.2011 9:17 Uhr Seite 4

- 5 -

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 da-

maged!

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 be well cleaned with the cleaning brush 9.

Important

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 qand the sieve e

with the supplied cleaning brush können 9. Clean the

riser tube with the aid of the riser tube brush 0.

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.

Important:

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.

IB_66500_STK650A1_LB3 01.06.2011 9:17 Uhr Seite 5

- 6 -

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
