Care & Cleaning
CLEANING THE GLASS JUG
• After each use, empty the glass jug.
Do not allow brewed tea to stand overnight.
Allow the glass jug to fully cool before
cleaning.
• Wipe the interior of the glass jug with a soft
damp sponge or rinse with warm water.
• Wipe the exterior of the glass jug with a soft
damp cloth to clean.
WARNING
Never immerse or wash exterior of glass jug
under running water.
NOTE
Do not use chemicals, steel wool, or abrasive
cleaners to clean the inside or outside of the
glass jug as these may scratch the surface.
• To remove the build-up of tannin; the
astringent chemical constituent of tea,
remove the tea basket, fill the glass jug
with water up to the MAX mark, bring water
to the boil and allow to cool for one minute.
Add the contents of the Sage Tea Maker
Cleaner (available at Sage web page) and
allow to stand for 5 minutes.
Empty tea maker, refill with fresh water
and bring water to the boil. Repeat this
step again then rinse the inside of the
glass jug thoroughly. Dry thoroughly with
a soft, lint-free cloth before using.
NOTE
Through regular use over time, scale build-up
can affect the performance and the life of the
Tea Maker™ Compact. Lime and phosphate
are common forms of scale that can damage
your Sage Tea Maker™ Compact. Lime
scale, a harmless mineral, comes in the
appearance of white-coloured or rusty
looking build up on the inner walls and inner
base of the glass jug. Phosphate scale can’t
be seen; however it can cause the water to
appear cloudy when heated. To prevent scale
from damaging your Tea Maker™ Compact,
ensure to descale the glass jug regularly. Use
the Sage Descaler (available at Sage web
page) and follow the instructions.
WARNING
Causes skin irritation. Wash hands
thoroughly after handling. Wear protective
gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/
face protection.
NOTE
Allow all parts of the Tea Maker™ Compact
to cool completely before disassembling
and cleaning.
WARNING
Never immerse the base of the glass jug, jug
lid, power base, power cord or power plug in
water or allow moisture to come in contact
with these parts.
