Tefal SPIRIT OF TEA BK2630 [16/47] Care and cleaning

MAKING RUSSIAN OR TURKISH TEA: While your tea concentrate is brewing, boil

some more water; it is then ready to serve.

CARE AND CLEANING

- Always unplug the power cord from the power supply before cleaning.

- Allow to cool before cleaning the tray and kettle with a damp sponge.

- Never immerse the kettle or tray in water.

- Do not clean with a scouring pad

Cleaning the kettle filter

The removable filter consists of a mesh screen that traps particles of scale and

prevents them from falling into your cup when you pour. If the water in your area is

very hard the filter will very quickly become saturated (after 10 - 15 uses). It is

therefore important to clean it regularly. To clean the filter while it is wet, run it

under the tap; if it is dry, brush it gently. Sometimes, limescale may remain attached

to the filter, in which case you should follow the descaling procedure described

below.

Cleaning the teapot

Unhook the brewing basket (G) and wash the teapot like any ordinary glass

container, either by hand or in a dishwasher.

Thoroughly rinse the brewing basket (G) and if necessary, brush it from the inside to

prevent the stainless steel strainer from becoming clogged with tealeaf fragments.

The strainer is also dishwasher-safe..

Descaling

You should descale your kettle or teapot regularly (ideally at least once a month, or

more often if your water is very hard).

Descaling procedure:

- Using store-bought white vinegar :

. Pour 500 ml vinegar into the kettle,

. Leave to act for 1 hour with the kettle cold.

- Using citric acid:

. Boil 500 ml water,

. Add 25 g citric acid and leave to act for 15 min.

- Using a special-purpose scale remover for plastic kettles: follow the manufacturer's

instructions.

Empty your kettle or teapot and rinse five or six times. Repeat the procedure if

necessary.
