BREWING TEA
This unit is ideal for serving a “mixed” crowd: tea drinkers and
coffee drinkers. When brewing tea, make sure that your Filter
Basket and Carafe are thoroughly clean. If the unit has been used
previously for coffee, wash the pieces with warm, soapy water and
rinse well. Follow directions for making coffee except instead of
putting coffee in the Filter Basket, place loose tea into the paper
filter. For your first pot of tea, we suggest 1 level teaspoon of loose
tea per cup. Adjust the strength by using more or less tea.
USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be
performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.

CARING FOR YOUR CARAFE

A damaged Carafe may result in possible burns from hot liquid.
To avoid breaking a Carafe:
1. Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from Carafe while on
the Warming Plate. Do not heat Carafe when empty. If this
happens, discard Carafe.
2. Discard Carafe if damaged in any manner. A chip or crack
could result in breakage.
3. Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers as they will
scratch and weaken the glass.
4. Do not place the Carafe on or near a hot gas or electric burner,
in a heated oven, or in a microwave.
5. Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.
6. Do not clean Thermal Carafes in the dishwasher. The glass liners
cannot withstand the pressure and may break.
