Swan STM101 user manual

Yes, Teasmade is still being made. Although it has become less popular in recent years, there are still several brands that manufacture Teasmade machines. Some of the well-known brands include Swan, STM101, and a few others. These Teasmade machines typically combine an alarm clock with a built-in teapot, allowing users to wake up to a freshly brewed cup of tea.

No, a Teasmade is specifically designed to make tea, not coffee. It is usually equipped with a tea pot and a timer to brew tea automatically.

To clean a Teasmade, follow these steps:
1. Start by unplugging the Teasmade and allowing it to cool down completely.
2. Disassemble all removable parts of the Teasmade, including the teapot, tea-making mechanism, and any other detachable parts.
3. Empty any remaining tea or liquid from the teapot and discard it.
4. Wash the teapot, tea-making mechanism, and other removable parts in warm, soapy water. Use a mild dish soap and a sponge or dishcloth to scrub away any residue or stains. Rinse them thoroughly with clean water afterward.
5. Wipe the exterior of the Teasmade using a damp cloth or sponge. Pay extra attention to any visible stains or spills.
6. If there are any stubborn stains inside the teapot, you can soak it in a solution of warm water and mild detergent for a few minutes. Then scrub the stains gently with a soft brush or sponge.
7. Rinse all the parts thoroughly and leave them to air dry. It's important to ensure that all components are completely dry before reassembling and using the Teasmade again.
8. Once everything is dry, carefully reassemble all the parts and make sure they fit properly. Ensure that the teapot, tea-making mechanism, and other components are securely in place.
9. Finally, plug the Teasmade back in and run a cycle of plain water through it to remove any remaining soap residue. This will also help freshen up the Teasmade before making your next cup of tea.
Note: Always refer to your specific Teasmade's user manual for any manufacturer's instructions regarding cleaning and maintenance.

There could be several reasons why your Teasmade is not working. Here are a few common issues and potential solutions:
1. Power supply: Ensure that the Teasmade is properly plugged into a working power outlet. Check if the power cord is damaged or if there is a power switch that needs to be turned on.
2. Water supply: Make sure that the water reservoir is filled with enough water. Some Teasmade models have a minimum water level requirement. If the water level is too low, the Teasmade may not work.
3. Timer settings: Verify that the timer is correctly set for the desired time of your tea preparation. Ensure that the clock and timer functions are properly programmed.
4. Faulty heating element: If the Teasmade is not heating up, there might be an issue with the heating element. Check if it has burned out or is malfunctioning. In such cases, it may require professional repair or replacement.
5. Malfunctioning components: If all the above aspects are in order, there might be an internal problem with other components like the thermostat, switches, or wiring. In this case, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer or a professional technician to diagnose and resolve the issue.
Remember to always consult the user manual that came with your Teasmade for troubleshooting tips specific to your model.
