brand paper filter (JR100 or JR100NB) into the inner brew basket. You may also use

Add desired amount of tea according to the tea measurement chart found cn page 6. We
recommend between l-3 black tea bags or rounded teaspoons of loose tea. If
brewing herbal teas, the amount of tea may need to be increased to reach desired
strength.

before closing the brow basket into
place. Close the brew basket by swinging the brew basket to the left. Please make
sure the brew basket is locked into place.

Remove the ceramic tea pot lid from the water reservoir. Pour the water into the
