ELECTRIC TEA MAKER
KH 601

Correct Usage

This appliance is intended for brewing tea and then
keeping it warm. The appliance is intended for
domestic 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 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 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 unstabile kettle to
fall over.

• Exercise caution with the glass pot. Broken glass
can cause serious cut wounds.

• This appliance is not intended for use by indivi­duals (including children) with restricted physical,
physiological 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.

You can thus prevent the appliance
from being damaged:

• Under no circumstances should you fill the
appliance 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 appliance.

• Carefully rinse all parts of the brewing system
(Brew chamber 9, water riser pipe 0, sieve q)
and the glass pot 3 (see chapter “Cleaning
and Care”).

Proceed as follows before the first usage:

1. Take the glass pot 3 from the base 5 and
remove the brew system from the glass pot 3.

2. Fill the glass pot 3 up to the MAX marking with
water, then add a teaspoon of lemon juice (or lemon
concentrate) to it. If lemon juice is not available,
you could add a teabag (or a teaspoon of loose
tea) directly into the water.

3. Close the lid 1 and replace the glass pot 3
onto the base auf 5.

4. Switch the appliance on with the On/Off switch 7.
The control lamp 4 and the On/Off switch 7
light up. Wait until the control lamp 4 goes out.

5. Switch the appliance off with the On/Off switch 7
and then clean the appliance as described in
“Cleaning and Care”.

The Tea Maker is now ready for use.

Operation

Warning:

DO NOT put any sugar into the Tea Maker. DO
NOT heat milk in the Tea Maker. This would irrepar­ably damage the appliance.

Important:

Green tea is not suitable for brewing in the Tea Ma­ker. The ideal brewing temperature for green teas
lies at around 70°C. At higher brewing temperatu­res, such as those generated in the Tea Maker, tannic
acids are released. The tea will taste bitter.

1. Remove the glass pot 3 from the base 5.

2. Open the lid 1 and take out the brew system.
Place the brew system on a level and even surface.

3. Fill the glass pot 3 with the required amount of
water. Never fill it beyond the MAX marking,
and never less than up to the MIN marking.

Warning:

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 0 with the sieve q upwards.

5. Place the necessary amount of tea or number of
teabags in the brew chamber 9.

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 0 sits firmly in
the recess on the bottom of the glass pot 3.
The brew chamber 9 must be positioned with
the flattened side towards the handle 2.

7. Close the appliance lid 1.

8. Replace the glass pot 3 back on to the base 5.

9. Insert the plug into a wall power socket and place
the On/Off switch 7 at the position “I”. The
control lamp 4 and the On/Off switch 7 light up.

The water is now boiled and forced upwards
through the water riser pipe 0, to flow through the
brew chamber 9 and then back into the glass pot 3.

After the water has boiled, the appliance automati­cally switches itself into the keep-warm function.
The control lamp 4 goes out, only the On/Off
switch 7 continues to glow. As soon as the water
cools, the Tea Maker warms the water back up. The
control lamp 4 lights up again during this
rewarming process.

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.

Important:

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 7 back into the
position “0”. The brew process is finished.
If you remove the glass pot 3 from the base 5,
the brew process is interrupted.

Cleaning and care

Risk of personal injury!

ALWAYS remove the plug before cleaning the
appliance. 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 Maker;

• regular use of the Tea Maker could perhaps
cause it take on aromas from strongly aromatic
teas and pass them to other tea sorts.

Clean the glass pot 3 of the Tea Maker with a
moist cloth. For stubborn soiling use a mild detergent
on the cloth.
