FAQs
What is the water capacity of the Swan Teasmade STM200N?
The Teasmade has a generous 600ml capacity, which is sufficient for making at least two standard cups of tea or coffee.
Can I use the Teasmade for drinks other than tea?
Yes, you can use the Teasmade to boil water for coffee, hot chocolate, instant noodles, or any other hot beverage that requires boiled water.
How do I set the alarm function?
Specific instructions for setting the alarm are detailed in the product's user manual. Please refer to your manual for step-by-step guidance on setting and adjusting the alarm modes.
Is it safe to leave water in the Teasmade overnight?
It is generally safe to leave fresh, clean water in the reservoir overnight. However, for the best taste and to minimize mineral build-up, it is recommended to use fresh water for each brew and periodically empty and rinse the reservoir.
What are the dimensions of the unit?
The dimensions of the Swan Teasmade STM200N are L19 x W34 x H23cm, making it a compact and suitable size for most bedside tables.
How often should I descale the Teasmade?
The frequency of descaling depends on the hardness of your water. In hard water areas, descaling every 1-3 months is recommended. In softer water areas, every 3-6 months may suffice. Always use a descaling solution suitable for kettles and follow its instructions.
Troubleshooting
Teasmade won't turn on or heat water.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the unit and a functioning wall outlet. Check if the 'on' switch is activated. Verify that there is sufficient water in the reservoir above the minimum fill line.
Water is not boiling rapidly or reaching full temperature.
Check the power supply; make sure the 850W element is receiving adequate power. If the issue persists in hard water areas, consider descaling the unit as mineral build-up can affect heating efficiency.
Alarm is not sounding at the set time.
Confirm that the alarm function is activated and that the correct alarm time is set. Ensure the volume is not set to mute or too low to be heard. Refer to the specific alarm setting instructions in your product manual.
Beverage has an unusual taste or smell.
This often indicates a need for cleaning. Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly. If you use tap water, mineral deposits can affect taste; descaling the unit should resolve this. Ensure the glass jug is clean before use.
Clock display is blank or incorrect.
If the display is blank, check the power connection. If the time is incorrect, reset the clock following the instructions in your user manual. In some cases, a power interruption might require re-setting the time.
