How much water does the Teasmade hold?
The Swan Vintage Teasmade has a 600ml capacity, which is enough to brew at least two standard cups of tea or coffee.
How long does it take to boil water?
Thanks to its 850W heating element, water boils rapidly. For the full 600ml capacity, it typically takes only a few minutes.
Is the ceramic teapot dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to hand wash the removable ceramic teapot with warm, soapy water to preserve its finish and ensure longevity. Avoid using a dishwasher.

Regular descaling is recommended. Use a commercial descaling solution suitable for kettles or a vinegar-water solution every 1-3 months, depending on your water hardness. Follow the descaler's instructions, then rinse thoroughly.
Troubleshooting
Teasmade not turning on or boiling water.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the unit and a working electrical outlet. Check if the 'on' switch or brewing button is activated. Verify there isn't a power outage.
Alarm is not sounding at the set time.
Confirm that the alarm time has been correctly set using the dedicated dial and that the alarm activation switch is in the 'on' position. Also, ensure the clock is set to the correct current time.
Brewed tea/coffee is too weak or too strong.
Adjust the amount of tea bags or ground coffee used. For weaker drinks, use less; for stronger, use more. Also, ensure the water level is appropriate for the amount of beverage used.
Water is boiling, but nothing is dispensing into the teapot.
Check if the ceramic teapot is correctly positioned on the heating plate and that the lid is properly seated. Ensure the filter basket inside the teapot is not clogged with grounds or leaves.
Unit leaks water during operation.
Ensure the water reservoir lid is securely closed. Check that the teapot is correctly placed and not overfilled. Inspect the unit for any visible cracks or damage; if found, discontinue use and contact customer support.
