CONGRATULATIONS
On the purchase of your new Gourmet Tea Advanced Automatic
Today, tea is the most consumed beverage in the world after water. Whether your taste
preference is for a rich full bodied Darjeeling tea, a delicate first picked Japanese Green
tea or one of the hundreds of herbal teas now available, all tea drinkers know the special
moment of escape that can be found while drinking that perfect cup.
Yet brewing 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 weak and tasteless.
The Gourmet Tea Advanced Automatic
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.

Hot surfaces – Risk of burns
The exterior of the Gourmet Tea Advanced Automatic will get very hot during operation. In
addition, beware of steam and hot condensate during operation and even some minutes
after switching off the appliance, especially when opening the lid or pouring out water.
The kettle is still hot, even some minutes after switching off. Do not touch hot surfaces (exterior of the water container and lid) while the appliance is in use. Always use the soft grip
handle for moving the kettle. Always use the opening button for opening the lid.
Do not place the aplliance on any heat-sensitive objects, while it is hot. Never place any
heat-sensitive objects in or on the appliance.
Close supervision is important, when moving the appliance immediately after switching
off. Take care to hold the glass jug level, especially when filled to the maximum level.
• For operation place the appliance on a dry, stable, heat-resistant, water-resistant and
level surface (i.e. glass, ceramics, stone). Never place any clothes or other objects on or
under the appliance during operation to avoid overheating. Always let the appliance cool
down to room temperature before cleaning.
• Always keep your hands, face and arm as well as any clothing and other objects away
from the lid and spout during operation to avoid scalds and damage. Beware of steam
and hot condensate, when opening the lid. Always keep the lid closed, when operating
the appliance. Otherwise power consumption increases significantly and, additionally, the
automatic switching off of the heating elements will not work out. Ensure all persons stay in
sufficient distance to the appliance during operation.
