BREWING ICED TEA
1. Fill the pitcher with fresh, cold water
to the desired water level capacity
(1, 2 or 3 quarts). Do not overfill.
2. Lift the water reservoir lid, rotate the
shower head out of the way and remove
the brew basket. Pour water into the
water reservoir (Figure 1).
3. Place the brew basket back in its place,
inserting a 4 cup MR. COFFEE ® paper filter
into the brew basket. Add the desired
amount of tea (see the Measurement Chart).
You may now add sugar, lemon or other
flavorings to the brew basket to suit your
taste (Figure 2).
4. Rotate the shower head back into position
so that it is now over the brew basket. Close
the water reservoir lid.
NOTE: Reservoir lid will not close if shower
head is not in proper position.
5. Adjust the steeping lever to your desired
brewing strength.
6. Fill the pitcher with ice cubes to the desired
ice level marked on the pitcher (Figure 3).
Replace the pitcher lid with the pitcher
spout cover in the open position. If you are
low on ice, you may substitute cold water,
refilling the pitcher to the desired 1, 2 or 3
quart WATER level – DO NOT fill to the ICE
level as this will cause an overflow when the
tea brews.
7. Slide the pitcher towards the iced tea maker
with the pitcher spout open and fitting just
under the Steep Control, flush against the
appliance.
NOTE: If the pitcher and its lid are not pushed
snugly against the iced tea maker, hot
water and hot steam/water could escape
and cause injury.
8. Turn the iced tea maker on by plugging the
power cord into an electrical outlet and
pushing the “on” button firmly until the ON
indicator light is illuminated.

9. When the brewing cycle is complete, the iced tea maker will shut off
automatically. Wait 30 seconds, then slide the pitcher away from the
appliance and serve your iced tea. Your tea may turn cloudy as it chills
due to the presence of naturally- occurring tannic acids found in tea.
CAUTION: When performing this step, some residual steam may escape.
10. After you are done enjoying your iced beverage, wait for the iced tea
maker contents to cool down before handling. Then, open the reservoir
lid, rotate the shower head out of the way and remove the brew basket.
Discard its contents and rinse it with clean water.
