Accepted Answer

TeaSmart® has a 0.96 (128x64 px) OLED display. OLED technology provides deepest black, highest contrast ratio and a wide viewing angle (180°). The OLED display shows current temperature, and also the symbol of current process.

Question 11

Why does it take too long for the TeaSmart® Electric Turkish Tea Kettle to reach 212 degrees Fahrenheit in the final part of boiling even though the temperature rises at a normal pace at first?

Accepted Answer

TeaSmart® uses advanced technology S1 PID controller to eliminate the swinging in the temperature. S1 PID decreases the power supplied to the heater as the temperature approaches the target. That is why the final part of heating takes longer.

Question 12

Why does the temperature shown on the display not reach the boiling point, 212 degrees Fahrenheit, even though the water boils?

Accepted Answer

Boiling point changes with the altitude. It is highest at sea level and decreases with altitude. If TeaSmart® does not reach 212°F, the boiling point of your region may be lower than that. In this case, please check the altitude of your region from the Internet and refer to the chart below to learn the related boiling point which is the maximum temperature you can see on the display of TeaSmart® regarding the altitude of your location.

Question 13

How long can TeaSmart® Electric Turkish Tea Kettle holds the water warm?

Accepted Answer

TeaSmart® holds the water warm for 3 hours. As soon as the water boils, TeaSmart® automatically goes into hold function, shows the current temperature of the water, and maintains the temperature for up to 3 hours.

Question 14

What if I forgot to turn off TeaSmart® Electric Turkish Tea Kettle?

Accepted Answer

TeaSmart® has an auto shut off function which cuts in after 3 hours of inactivity to prevent any accidents which may result from forgetting to turn the tea maker off. Therefore, your device will automatically turn off after 3 hours of hold time finishes.

What if I turn on TeaSmart® Electric Turkish Tea Kettle without adding water into it?

Accepted Answer

TeaSmart® has a “boil dry protection” function to prevent you from turning it on without water. So, it does not start working and warns you by making a beep sound and reading “No Water” on its display even if you turn it on without adding sufficient water into it.

Question 16

Can I heat milk or other liquids in TeaSmart® Electric Turkish Tea Kettle?

Accepted Answer

No. TeaSmart® is designed and manufactured only for boiling water, not any other liquid. However, even though it is mainly designed to make Turkish tea, you can also make other types of teas, coffees, noodles, or any other food or beverage which requires boiled water by using your TeaSmart® as an electric kettle. The kettle function of TeaSmart® offers you more flexibility than regular kettles since it has a hold function to keep the water warm for 3 hours.

Question 17

Why does the screen read 'No Water' and not respond to anything even though TeaSmart® Electric Turkish Tea Kettle has water in it?

Accepted Answer

This is an important precaution taken to protect you and your product. When faced with this situation, follow the related steps below depending on the cause of the problem:

If there is not enough water in the TeaSmart® Electric Turkish Tea Kettle, then add more water to it and try again. There should be water at least until the minimum level indicated inside the kettle.
If there is enough water but you still get a "No Water" warning, this means that the communication between the kettle and the base is blocked. There might be two possible reasons for this blockage:

There might be some particles between the connectors at the bottom of the kettle (five rings). So, please ensure that there are no particles between them, and if any, clean such particles.
One or more of the connectors might be exposed to water. So, the connectors should be cleaned and dried with a dry cloth. Leaving the kettle and base apart to dry for a few hours remedies the issue completely. To prevent it from happening again, please do not wash the outside of the kettle under tap water, just wipe it with a damp cloth.

Getting the "No Water" sign may cause the device to lock itself. In this case, please reset the kettle by unplugging and then plugging it in again.

If none of these solutions resolve the issue, contact SAKI customer service.

Question 18

How can I descale TeaSmart® Electric Turkish Tea Kettle?

Repeat this process until all of the scale is removed.
