CONGRATULATIONS

Nowadays, tea is adrink which guides us through daily life and which many
people consider as ordinary and common. It is almost unbelievable that tea
appeared in Europe only afew hundred years ago and from adrink for the richest,
over the centuries, it has become adrink which loves nearly everyone of us.

Correctly brewed tea is both an art and ascience. Tea varieties are grown and
produced in different environments and require specific water temperatures and
controlled brew times to allow their unique flavour and aroma to develop during
brewing. Boiled water is not considered good for making many tea types as the
boiling process removes oxygen, making the water stale. To bring out the opti­mal quality and taste of more delicate tea leaves such as green, oolong and white
tea, alower temperature will produce abetter flavoured cup of tea while boiling
water may scald the tea leaves and result in abitter, astringent brew. Similarly,
brewing the tea for too long may result in abitter, unpleasant brew, while brew­ing for too short aperiod may leave the tea teak and tasteless.

The Catler Automatic Tea Maker TM 8010 is fully programmable for all
types of tea, water temperatures and brew times, eliminating the guess­work so you can enjoy aperfect cup of tea, every time.

CATLER RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

We at Catler are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you, our valued customer foremost in mind. In
addition we ask that you exercise adegree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions:

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR YOUR AUTOMATIC TEA MAKER TM 8010

• Carefully read all instructions before opera­tion and save for future reference.

• Remove and safely discard any packaging
material and promotional labels before using
the appliance for the first time.

• To eliminate a chocking hazard for young
children, remove and safely discard the pro­tective cover fitted to the power plug of this
appliance.

• This appliance has been designed specifical­ly for the purpose of boiling drinking quality
water only. Under no circumstances should
this product be used to boil any other liquids
or foodstuffs.

• Do not place the kettle near the edge of
a bench or table during operation. Ensure
that the surface is level, clean and free of wa­ter.

• Do not operate the kettle on a sink drain
board.

• Always ensure the kettle is properly assem­bled before connecting to a power outlet
and operating. Follow the instructions pro­vided in this book.

• The kettle must be used only with the power
base supplied. Do not use this supplied
power base for other types of kettles.

• The kettle is not intended to be operated by
means of an external timer or separate re­mote control system.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handle for
lifting and carrying the kettle.

• Do not move the appliance if turned on. Do
not manipulate with akettle if placed on the
power base and turned on.

• During heating water or brewing tea do not
open the jug lid or do not manipulate in any
way. Scalding may occur from escaping steam.

• Extreme caution must be used when moving
the glass jug containing hot water.

• Always ensure the TEA/Cancel (when brew­ing tea) or HOT WATER (when heating water)
has been pressed to cancel before attempt­ing to move the appliance, when the app­liance is not in use and before cleaning and
storing. The appliance is turned off if button
illumination goes off. Now, you can unplug
the appliance from the power outlet.

• If you do not use the appliance for along
time or you attempt to leave unattended,
unplug the appliance from the power outlet.

• Before refilling, leave the appliance to cool
down.

• Do not place the kettle on or near a hot gas
burner, electric element or where it could
touch aheated oven.

• Keep the kettle clear of walls, curtains and
other heat or steam sensitive materials. Mini­mum 20 cm distance.

CATLER RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

• Before operation, ensure the jug lid is secure­ly attached to the glass jug.

• Do not place anything on top of the lid.

• Use caution when pouring water from the
kettle, as boiling water and steam will scald.
Do not pour the water too quickly.

• To avoid scalding, never fill the glass jug past
the “WATER MAX (when heating water) or
“TEA MAX” (when brewing tea) line markings.

• Do not operate the appliance without wa­ter. Always fill the glass jug to at least the
“MIN” marking. Should it be operated with­out water, the boil-dry protection will shut
the power off automatically. Allow the app­liance to cool before refilling.

• To protect against electric shock, do not im­merse the kettle base, power base, power
cord or power plug in water or allow mois­ture to come in contact with these parts.

• Do not remove the kettle from the power
base during operation (and basked opera­tion). Ensure the kettle has switched off after
the water has boiled or reached the selected
temperature, before removing the kettle
from the power base.

• Use only supplied accessories or recom­mended accessories by a manufacturer.
Otherwise it may result in fire, electric shock
or injury to persons.

• Keep the appliance clean. Refer to Care and
Cleaning (page 24).

• Do not wash the external surface under run­ning water.

IMPORTANT SAFEFUARDS FOR ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

• This appliance is for household use only.

• Unwind the power cord fully before use.

• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of
atable or counter, touch hot surfaces or be­come knotted.

• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduces
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruc­tion concerning use of the appliance by
aperson responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with this appliance.

• It is recommended to inspect the appliance
regularly. Do not use the appliance if power
supply cord, plug or appliance become
damaged in any way. Return the entire ap­pliance to the nearest authorised Catler Ser­vice Centre for examination and/or repair.

• Any maintenance other than cleaning
should be performed at an authorised Catler
Service Centre.

• Do not use this appliance for other than its
intended use. Do not use in moving vehicles
or boats. Do not use outdoors.

• The installation of a residual current device
(safety switch) is recommended to provide
additional safety protection when using
electrical appliances. It is advisable that
asafety switch with arated residual operat­ing current not exceeding 30mA be installed
in the electrical circuit supplying the appli­ance. See your electrician for professional
advice.

• For the security reasons, we recommend to
plug the Catler Automatic Tea Maker directly
to its own circuit, separate from other appli­ances. It is not recommended using hub or
extension cord.
