CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR ICED TEA MAKER
Cleaning your MR. COFFEE
®
Iced Tea Maker
Hard water can leave mineral deposits inside the pitcher and the brew
basket. To remove these, fill the brew basket and the pitcher with warm,
undiluted white household vinegar. Let soak for 20 minutes, then rinse.
Never use harsh, abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads or other abrasive
materials. They may cause scratches which can lead to breakage.
CAUTION!
Never immerse the iced tea maker itself in water, in any other
liquid or in the dishwasher.
Decalcifying your MR. COFFEE
®
Iced Tea Maker
Mineral (calcium/limestone) found in the water will leave deposits in your
iced tea maker and will affect its performance. If you notice an increase in
steaming or if the pumping action stops before all of the water has been
pumped out of the appliance, it’s time to clean it. The frequency of cleaning
depends on the hardness (mineral content) of your tap water. Please see
the following chart:
It’s recommended that you regularly remove mineral deposits by using
MR. COFFEE
®
Cleaner or undiluted, white household vinegar. MR. COFFEE
®
Cleaner is available at many retail stores or by calling the MR. COFFEE

Water Filtration Disk Replacement

30 brew cycles). If the machine will not be in use for an extended period of
time, rinse the water filter with running water and clean the iced tea maker
before use.
