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
