Daily Care
1.
To maintain the quality of all parts and minimize tea stains, we recommend
washing the pitcher, pitcher lid, steeping basket and steeping basket lid with
warm water and mild detergent, regularly.
2.
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the pitcher and steep-
ing basket. Tea and coffee discolors these deposits. To remove, fill the bas-
ket and pitcher with warm white vinegar and let it soak for about 20 minutes.
3.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners. They will cause scratches which can
lead to breakage.
Deliming is a Must
The Iced Tea Pot 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.
The
frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. Listed below
are the suggested cleaning intervals.
SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVAL
Type of Water Cleaning Frequency
Soft Water every
80
brew cycles
Hard Water every
40
brew cycles
