•Use more or less coffee or tea to suit your taste.
•If your ice supply is low, you may substitute cold water. After filling the water reservoir with the proper amount of water, refill the pitcher with cold tap water a second time
to the desired 1, 2, 3 quart Water Level. NOTE: Do not fill to the Ice Level as this will cause an overflow.
•For excellent iced coffee, try dark roast coffee or other flavored coffee.
•Tea may turn cloudy as it chills due to tannic acids found in tea.
CLEANING
•To maintain the quality of all the parts and minimize tea and coffee stains, we recommend washing the pitcher/lid, baskets/lid, with warm water and mild detergent after each use.
•Hard water can leave mineral deposits inside the pitcher and brew basket. To remove,
fill the brew basket and pitcher with warm white vinegar. Let soak for 20 minutes. Rinse.
•Do not use harsh, abrasive cleaners. They will cause scratches which can lead to breakage.
DELIMING
Your machine must be delimed when you begin to notice an increase in steaming or if the pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the machine.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of your water. Refer to chart. To delime, follow these easy instructions.
1.Pour 1 quart (32 oz.) of undiluted white household vinegar into the water reservoir.
2.Place the pitcher lid on the pitcher. Slide the pitcher under the machine.
3.Push the “on” button to begin brewing cycle. After 1 cup of vinegar has pumped into the pitcher, unplug appliance. Let stand 30 minutes.
4.
5.When your machine shuts off, unplug the cord, remove the pitcher. Discard the vinegar.
6.Fill the pitcher with clear tap water to the water level marked on the pitcher.
