USING THE GLASS TEA KETTLE While the water is heating, place the tea steeper in the tea steeper holder 5 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/212°F). NOTE: For tea that does not include brewing directions, start with 1 Tbsp. per 10 oz. cup. Add more tea if the flavor is too weak, and less tea if the flavor is too strong. Experiment for the best flavor. TIP: For best results, we recommend prewetting the tea leaves in the steeper with a little warm water before the steeper is added to the kettle. (This can be done while the steeper is in the steeper holder). This will allow the leaves to settle into the steeper during the steeping process. Once the water reaches the correct temperature for brewing your selected tea, a chime will sound 6 and the light around the ON/OFF button will stop flashing, but remain lit, indicating that the water is ready for steeping the tea. Remove the tea steeper lid from the 7 kettle after the desired temperature is reached. 8 | USING THE GLASS TEA KETTLE
