PREPARING THE GLASS TEA KETTLE FOR USE Before first use Before using your Glass Tea Kettle for the first time, wash the kettle and steeper assembly, including the lid, in hot, soapy water, then rinse with clean water and dry. Fill the Glass Tea Kettle with water to the MAX fill line, place the steeper assembly in the Glass Tea Kettle, and run one cycle at the maximum temperature. To avoid damage, do not fully immerse the Glass Tea Kettle in water, and do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
USING THE GLASS TEA KETTLE STEEPING CHART NOTE: Making the perfect cup of tea is easy with the KitchenAid Glass Tea Kettle. Water temperature and steep time are two key elements for optimal tea flavour. For best results, follow the recommendation on your tea’s packaging for suggested water temperature and steep times. If it does not have these suggestions, see the chart below. Keep in mind, steep time determines flavour, so use a timer to find your perfect strength.
ENGLISH USING THE GLASS TEA KETTLE BREWING TEA 6 5 4 3 2 1 Fill the Glass Tea Kettle with filtered water up to the desired level for the amount of tea you want to brew. Do not fill past the Max line. 2 Put the lid back on the Glass Tea Kettle, without the steeper. The two lids are properly locked into each other when the indicator on the tea steeper lid is lined up with the indicator next to the locked symbol on the kettle lid.
USING THE GLASS TEA KETTLE 5 While the water is heating, place the tea steeper in the tea steeper holder to keep it steady while filling it with tea leaves (or tea bags). Follow the instructions on the tea packaging for the amount of tea to use. OPTIONAL: To boil water instead of steeping tea, slide the temperature selector to HERBAL (100°C). NOTE: For tea that does not include brewing directions, start with 15 g per 300 ml cup.
8 10 Hold the tea steeper lid in one hand, and grip the tea steeper holder in the other hand. With slight downward pressure, rotate the tea steeper lid into place on the tea steeper. Then, using the handle, lift the steeper assembly up, out of the steeper holder. Use a timer to brew your tea for the appropriate time. See the “Steeping chart” for more detailed information. ENGLISH USING THE GLASS TEA KETTLE 9 Place the tea steeper lid assembly inside the kettle lid.
USING THE GLASS TEA KETTLE 12 Hold the tea steeper lid in one hand, and grip the tea steeper holder in the other hand. With slight downward pressure, rotate the tea steeper lid off of the tea steeper. Then, place the tea steeper lid back inside the kettle lid, twisting to lock into place. 13 The kettle automatically goes into Warm mode after reaching temperature and holds for 30 minutes at Warm (70°C). The light around the I/O (on/off) button will remain lit while the Glass Tea Kettle is in Warm mode.
ENGLISH CARE AND CLEANING DESCALING THE GLASS TEA KETTLE Calcium deposits (scale) from water will build up in the Glass Tea Kettle over time and impair brewing efficiency and tea quality. If you notice scale buildup inside your kettle or that it takes longer than usual to brew, then it is time to descale. To get the best performance from your Glass Tea Kettle, clean frequently. The cleaning interval will depend on the hardness of the water you put into the Glass Tea Kettle.
