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 remove the water tank by pulling upward.
Fill the water tank with fresh, cold water. Do not overfill the water tank!
2. Place water tank back onto the machine and push down to firmly engage the
base valve. Make sure the hook on the back of the machine is inserted into
the opening on the back of the water tank. Close the water tank lid.
WARNING: To prevent injuries from hot steam, do not plug in the appliance
until you have filled and placed the water tank onto the machine, filled and
inserted the tea in the removable filter, the lid is closed and the pitcher is in place.
3. 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.
4. Adjust the steeping lever to your desired brew strength. Lever in left position
being regular, lever in center position strong and lever in right position being
extra strong.
5. 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.
6. You may also add sugar, lemon, fresh fruit or other flavorings to the pitcher
before brewing.
7. Place the pitcher with lid back into the machine and ensure the drip stop is
engaged.
8. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and push the "on" button.
9. When the cycle is complete, your Iced Tea Maker will shut off automatically.
10. 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.
11. 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.
