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:
Suggested Cleaning Interval
Type of Water | Cleaning Frequency |
Soft Water | Every 80 Brew Cycles |
Hard Water | Every 40 Brew Cycles |
