Before Using for the First Time
After unpacking your Iced Tea Maker, clean all the loose parts with warm water and make
yourself familiar with the different functions. (Picher, pitcher lid and brew basket can also
be washed in the dishwasher.) After reading these instructions, clean the internal parts
of the machine by making two pitchers using only water, without any tea inside the filter.
Discard water after cleaning the internal parts.
Brewing Iced Tea
1. Open the water tank lid and fill the water tank with fresh, cold water using the pitcher.
Pitcher has three markings to fill water tank. Close the water tank lid.
Warning
:
To prevent injuries from hot steam, do not plug in the appliance
until you have filled the water tank, filled and inserted the tea in the removable filter,
the lid is closed and the pitcher is in place.
2. Open brew basket lid. Ensure brew basket and permanent filter are in place. Add the
desired amount of tea to the permanent filter. We recommend adding 4-10 regular
tea bags or 3-6 level teaspoons of loose tea. Adjust measurements according to
taste. Close brew basket lid.
3. Adjust the steeping dial to your desired brew strength. Dial in left position being
light, dial in center position normal and dial in right position being strong.
4. Remove the glass pitcher from the machine and fill the pitcher with ice cubes to the
ice level marked on the pitcher. If you are low on ice, you may substitute cold water,
fill the pitcher to the water level marked on the pitcher.
Warning
:
Do not fill water to the ice level as this will cause an overflow
when the tea brews.
5. You may also add sugar, lemon, fresh fruit or other flavorings to the pitcher before
brewing.
6. Place the pitcher with lid back into the machine and ensure the drip stop is engaged.
7. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and push the “on” button.
8. When the cycle is complete, your Iced Tea Maker will shut off automatically.
NOTE:
You must wait 9-15 minutes to allow thermostat to cool down before
attempting to brew another pitcher of iced tea.
9. Remove the pitcher and enjoy your freshly brewed iced tea. Unused iced tea may be
stored in the refrigerator.
NOTE:
Your tea may turn cloudy as it chills due to the tannic acids found in tea. This
is normal but can be removed by allowing the tea to cool down fully before placing in
the refrigerator or adding a pinch of baking soda to the pitcher prior to brewing.
10. Wait for the Iced Tea Maker to cool down before cleaning. Open the brew basket lid
and remove permanent filter and brew basket. Discard its contents and rinse with
clean water.
11. Once brew cycle starts, machine will brew all water from tank before automatically
turning off.
