27. Only fill the utensil up to the maximum mark. Hot w ater may splash out if you
overfill it.
28. Pull the plug out and allow the utensil to cool before cleaning it.
WARNING of injuries from other causes
29. Do not allow the mains lead to hang over corners (trip-wire effect).
CAUTION – Material damage
30. Never transport the utensil when it is hot, and make sure it is empty before
transporting it.
31. The handles of the tank are only for transportation purposes.
32. Operate the appliance only on a horizontal, even surface. This base must be
heat resistant and sufficiently stable. Think about the overall weight of the
utensil when full.
Always make sure there is a safe distance to flammable parts.
33. The plug must be easily accessible so that you can pull it out quickly if
necessary.
34. Do not place the utensil on a base with a surface which is sensitive t o water.
Splashing water or condensed steam could cause damage.
35. Never place the appliance near a gas flame, electric hotplate or other source of
heat. External heat can damage the appliance.
5. Before first using this appliance
• Ensure that all packaging material has been removed from the appliance (protective
film, etc.).
• Under no circumstances remove the rating label or any warning labels.
CAUTION: check that the appliance is not damaged. If any parts are damaged,
do not use the appliance and contact a qualified service engineer.
• Do not place the appliance beneath an overhanging cupboard.
• Clean the appliance and the accessories before using it for the first time. This will
remove any debris that might remain from the production process.
6. How to use this appliance
• Pour the required amount of fresh water and do not fill past the fill level mark.
• Place lid and kettle onto the base unit.
• Ensure that the adjusting knob is turned anticlockwise until it reaches its detent and
that the appliance is switched off with the on/off switch.
• Then insert the plug into the mains socket.
• Switch the appliance on using the on/off switch. The switch will light up.
• The thermostat allows stepless adjustment of the degree of heat. You can choose
between the settings: boil / interval boil / hot / warm.
• If you turn the adjusting knob to the detent, the water will boil rapidly. If you leave
the adjusting knob in this position, the water wil l boi l continuously until it eventually
all evaporates. To prevent this uninterrupted boiling function, turn the adjusting knob
back after the water boils until the blue signal light turns out. Now the thermostat
only switches on again when the temperature of the water drops, heating it again. In
this way, the thermostat regulates energy supply in accordance with requirements,
saving a great deal of energy. The blue signal light switches on and off in the
thermostat cycle.
• Guideline values:
- Boiling water: Adjusting knob turned to the detent; water
temperature approx. 212°F
- Interval boiling: Maximum 1/4 turn back - as soon as the water has
boiled; water temperature approx. 203°F – 212°F
H - Hot water: Adjusting knob turned back by about 1/3
(to the position marked "H"); water temperature
approx. 185°F – 203°F
W - Warm water: Adjusting knob turned back by about 2/3
(to the position marked "W"); water temperature
approx. 140°F – 158°F
• To switch off th e samovar completely, use the on/off switch. The signal light in the
switch extinguishes.
• If you forget to fill w it h water, the heater is switched off by a safety switch. This
function is indicated by the flashing of the red indicator light.
Caution: Even when the red signal light has already been flashing for a
longer time, the appliance will still be very hot!
• To restart the utensil, switch it off completely. To do this, t urn the knob anticlockwise
past the resistance to the detent and press the on/off switch. Fill the hot tank
carefully with water. Caution: Hot steam may escape. Allow the utensil to cool for
a few minutes.
Please note:
The utensil must be switched off to cool down. Only then is the normal
operating state reached again.
• As soon as the blue indicator light comes back on, the utensil is ready to use again.
• For safety reasons, pull out the mains plug after the appliance has been used.

7. Making tea the Oriental way in accordance with the “samovar”
principle
Tea is not always like tea. Strictly speaking, tea is solely a watery infusion of the tea
plant Camellia sinensis. This infusion can be black or green tea. It needs to be
differentiated from tea-like products, so-called herbal and fruit teas.
Making tea is therefore not always the same. To give them their valuable ingredients and
taste, teas have water of different temperatures poured on them, and are left to brew for
different amounts of time. Green tea, for example, is prepared preferentially with water
at 185°F. The instructions for how to prepare the tea indicated on the packet should be
observed in any case.
a) Black tea
• Fill the strainer with tea leaves (approx. one teaspoon per cup) or put tea bags in the
teapot without strainer (1 tea bag for approx. 1 - 2 cups).
• Place the lid on the water tank and the teapot on top of the lid. This pre-heats the
teapot at the same time.
• Boil the water.
• Remove the teapot from the kettle.
Caution: hot steam will escape! Use oven gloves! A small amount of condensed
water may also drip from the base of the teapot.
• Now pour boiling water over the tea from the tap. By pressing down slightly, the tap
opens and you can draw off water. It closes as soon as you release it again. If you
want to draw off a lot of water, e.g. to fill the teapot, tip back the tap lever. It snaps
in place in this position. The tap does not close again until you push the lever forward
again.
• The more tea leaves or tea bags and the less water you place in the teapot, the
stronger the tea concentrate (“professionals” like their infusion to have exactly 2.86 g
of tea per cup). It is better to use somewhat more tea so that a concentrate is
actually formed in the teapot.
• Replace the teapot with the tea concentrate on the water tank. The steam rising in
the water tank keeps the tea in the teapot at precisely the right temperature required
for brewing.
• Remove the strainer from the teapot after the desired brewing time.
• Next pour the required amount of tea concentrate from the teapot into your glass (to
taste) and then top your glass up with water from the water tank. This will allow you
to vary the strength and taste of your tea.
• The teapot can be left on the water tank when the appliance is operating so you can
help yourself to more hot tea and water at any time. Position the knob somewhat
above the “H” position (but not to the detent), so that the water remains hot but
does not boil continuously. The signal light will illuminate and extinguish in cycle.
However, the maximum heating setting should only be used f o r initial boiling of the
water.
b) Green Tea
• Green tea can also be prepared with the samovar. Green tea should generally not be
brewed with boiling water as this may give it a slightly bitter taste. Depending on the
kind of tea, the ideal water temperature is 122 – 158 °F. Most green teas develop
their optimum taste at around 158 °F. The higher the quality of the green tea, the
lower the optimum water temperature. Teas of the highest quality are brewed with
water at 122 – 140 °C.
• Normal green teas must infuse for 1 to 3 minutes, whilst high-grade green teas only
need around 1 to 1½ minutes. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions when
using tea bags.
