Philips HD7310 - Using the Personal Settings Button; Tips

Note: The base is not a hotplate and does not keep the tea warm during or after steeping, as this would
cause the tea to become stronger and turn bitter. However, the teapot is double-walled to keep the tea
warm.
Note: Be careful when you move the teapot while it contains hot tea.
Note: Do not put milk, sugar or honey in the teapot (Fig. 20).

Tips
- Tea packages often mention the optimal brewing instructions (water temperature and steeping
time).
- Tea leaves are best stored in an airtight container in a dark and dry place.
- Taste is very personal and you may need to experiment with the amount of tea leaves to obtain
the tea strength you prefer. Try to increase or decrease the strength of the tea by increasing or
decreasing the amount of tea leaves you put in the lter. It is not recommended to change the
strength by adjusting the steeping time mentioned on the tea package.
- Some teas have a low density and do not easily sink when they come into contact with heated
water. To improve immersion of the tea leaves, you could briey rinse the leaves in the lter with
hot tap water before you put the lter in the teapot.
