The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water
used. Listed below are the suggested cleaning intervals.
This iced tea maker may be delimed using vinegar or MR.
COFFEE
TM
Cleaner, which works better than vinegar and has
no unpleasant odor. Please refer to Pages 6 and 7 for Diagram
of Parts and Instructional Illustrations.
MR. COFFEE
TM
Cleaner, may be purchased at your local retailer or
by calling the Consumer Service Department listed on Page 13.
Using MR. COFFEE
TM
Cleaner:
(Read caution statement on side panel of MR. COFFEE

1. Fill pitcher with warm water to the water level marked on
the pitcher (36 ounces of warm water).

into pitcher. Mix thoroughly to dissolve cleaner. This will
make a clear blue solution.

the iced tea maker.

5. Place steeping basket, with lid, into the pitcher and slide
the pitcher under the machine.
The pitcher must be
placed snug against the machine before operation.
6. Push the ON button to begin the brewing cycle. The
indicator light will illuminate to let you know the machine
is brewing. When the machine has pumped out all the
cleaning solution, the unit will turn itself off automatically
and the indicator light will go out.
10. When the tea has drained, remove the steeping basket
and replace it with the pitcher lid. You are now ready to
serve refreshingly cold iced tea.
11. Discard the contents of the steeping basket. Rinse out the
steeping basket and lid with water after each use.
12. If you have leftover tea, cover the pitcher with the pitcher
lid and store it in the refrigerator.

down on the machine (See Figure E on Page 7).
To Brew Iced Coffee
Follow the instructions for iced tea, using the suggested
amount of coffee in the chart listed on Page 8.
CAUTION:
Decaffeinated coffee, particularly when used with
chemically softened water, can cause slower filtration.
Daily Care
Always switch OFF appliance and unplug power cord. Do not
immerse tea maker in liquids. Clean the appliance with damp cloth.
To maintain the quality of all parts and minimize tea stains, we
recommend washing the pitcher, pitcher lid, steeping basket
and lid with warm water and a mild detergent, regularly.
These Items Are NOT Dishwasher Safe.
Hard water can leave whitish mineral deposits inside the
pitcher and steeping basket. Tea and coffee discolor these
deposits. To remove, fill the basket and pitcher with warm
white vinegar and let it soak for about 20 minutes.
Do not use harsh, abrasive cleaners. They will cause scratches
which can lead to breakage.
Deliming
This unit must be delimed when you begin to notice an
increase in steaming or if the pumping action stops before all
the water has been pumped out of the machine.
