•
Remove the strainer from the teapot after the desired brewing time.
•
Next pour the required amount of tea concentrate from the teapot into your glass (to
taste) and then top your glass up with water from the water tank. This will allow you
to vary the strength and taste of your tea.
•
The teapot can be left on the water tank when the appliance is operating so you can
help yourself to more tea at any time. Position the knob somewhat above the
position (but not to the detent), so that the water remains hot but does not boil
continuously. The signal light will illuminate and extinguish in cycle. However, the
maximum heating setting should only be used for initial boiling of the water.
Green Tea
•
Green tea can also be prepared with the Samowar. Green tea should generally not be
brewed with boiling water as this gives it a slightly bitter taste. Depending on the
kind of tea, the ideal water temperature is 50 – 70 °C. Most green teas develop their
optimum taste at around 70 °C. The higher the quality of the green tea, the lower the
optimum water temperature. Teas of the highest quality are brewed with water at 50
– 60 °C.
•
Normal green teas must infuse for 1 to 3 minutes, whilst high-grade green teas only
need around 1 to 1½ minutes. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions when
using tea bags.
•
Green tea is always dosed less than black tea. Around 1 g per 100 ml or 1 level
teaspoon to 200 ml of water. You can determine the strength of the concentrate
yourself.
•
Boil the water in the container. Then pour some hot water into the cups (the teapot
has been pre-warmed on the container during the boiling process). Then turn the
adjusting knob back to the
water to cool down a little (approx. 5 - 6 minutes). Now pour hot water from the
container onto the tea (note the max. filling level marking). Place the teapot on top of
the container as described before so that the tea remains hot, and then proceed as
for black tea.

Faults and troubleshooting
In the event of a fault during using, unplug the appliance.
If the samovar fails to operate, please check whether
•
the appliance is plugged in.
•
the knob is in the right position.
•
other appliances with high wattage are in operation simultaneously, causing the main
fuse or circuit breaker to blow. First isolate the utensil from the mains. Reconnect the
fuse.
•
If the main fuse blows, this is normally an indication of a fault. In this case, qualified
service personal should check the appliance.
WARNING
Danger of Burns
Before cleaning, always remove the plug and allow the utensil to cool
down. Only clean it when it has cooled down fully.
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock
Never immerse the water container in water or any other liquid.
