Care & Cleaning
CLEANING THE GLASS JUG
1. After each use, empty the glass jug. Do not
allow brewed tea to stand overnight.
2. Wipe the interior of the glass jug with a soft
damp sponge or rinse with warm water.
3. 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.
4. To remove the build-up of tannin, the
astringent chemical constituent of tea, fill
the glass jug with water up to the MAX
mark and bring water to boil and allow
water to cool for one minute. Add contents
of tea cleaner packet (sold separately at
Sage website) and allow to stand for 5
minutes. Empty Smart Tea Pot™, refill with
fresh water and boil. Repeat this step again.
Empty the Smart Tea Pot™ and rinse
thoroughly.
5. 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 Smart Tea Pot™. Lime and
phosphate are common forms of scale that
can damage your Smart Tea Pot™. 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 Smart Tea Pot™,
ensure to descale the glass jug regularly.
Use Sage "the Descaler", and follow the
instructions.
NOTE
Allow all parts of the Smart Tea Pot™ to cool
completely before disassembling and
cleaning.
WARNING
Never immerse the BASE OF THE GLASS
JUG, POWER BASE, POWER CORD or
POWER PLUG in water or allow moisture to
come in contact with these parts.
