Cleaning
Regular cleaning of your airpots and tea containers will maintain the highest quality coffee and iced tea your equipment is capable of producing.
A proper cleaning is essential in preserving the appearance of the brewer.
1. Turn off the tea brewer at the ON/OFF button on the front control panel.
2. Wipe exterior surfaces with a damp cloth, removing spills and debris.
3. Remove the brewcone and clean it. Thoroughly soap the sprayhead area with a mild detergent solution.
4. Wash the brewcone and wire brew basket, if applicable. Use a soft bristled brush for hard to clean areas. Wash both parts with a detergent
solution or put these parts through a dishwasher.
5. Wash the tea container and top cover. Use a detergent solution and a soft bristled brush to clean inside the container. Wipe the exterior
surfaces with a sponge and detergent solution. Rinse thoroughly.
6. Clean the faucet assembly. Unscrew the handle assembly from the faucet and remove. Clean the faucet shank with a gage glass brush
(circular bristle) by pushing the brush through the shank. Using the same brush clean the faucet body inlet and outlet. Clean the faucet cap
and silicone seat cup.
7. After the cleaning, place the parts (sprayhead, brewcone and basket and faucet parts) into a sink to be sanitized.
CAUTION: DO NOT use undiluted bleach or chlorine.
8. To sanitize the disassembled parts:
A. Use a clean container to submerge all parts. Wear rubber gloves for protection.
B. Immerse in commercial Bar Tabs/Sani-Tabs sanitizing solution The solution must be warm (75°F.) Let the parts soak for at least one
minute.
9. Thoroughly rinse parts with hot water. Air dry, all parts that were sanitized.
10. After cleaning, sanitizing and drying, assemble any parts taken from the tea container.
11. Clean out airpots with a sponge brush and a mild detergent solution. To remove mineral deposits, fill liner with vinegar and allow to
soak.
Tea Tips
1. Store tea bags in a dark, cool and dry place away from strong odors and moisture. Do not refrigerate.
2. Never hold brewed tea for more than eight hours at room temperature.
3. Discard any unused tea after eight hours
4. Brew only enough tea that you reasonably expect to sell within a few hours.
5. To protect tea flavor and to avoid bacterial contamination and growth, clean and sanitize tea brewing, storage and dispensing equipment at
least once a day.
WARNING DO NOT refrigerate unused tea overnight for later consumption.
