Cleaning Instructions

Your automatic hot tea maker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive steaming or the steeping time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a buildup of lime and mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the machine, then-the appliance requires cleaning.

The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The following table gives the suggested cleaning intervals.

Using Vinegar:

1.Pour 30 ounces of undiluted white household vinegar into your automatic hot tea maker. Do not exceed 30 ounces.

2.Place a 4-cup paper filter into the filter basket and swing the filter basket into place.

3.Plug the power cord into an outlet. Place the empty ceramic tea pot on the warming plate and turn the automatic hot tea maker ON. When the vinegar has flowed through, turn the automatic hot tea maker OFF and let stand for l/2 hour.

4.After l/2 hour, pour the vinegar back into the automatic hot tea maker.

5.Place the empty ceramic tea pot on the warming plate. Turn the automatic hot tea maker ON and let all of the vinegar flow through.

6.Discard the vinegar and the paper filter.

7.To flush out all traces of vinegar, pour a ceramic tea pot full of tap water into the automatic hot tea maker, turn it ON, and allow it all to cycle through.

8.Discard the water and turn the automatic hot tea maker OFF. Repeat steps 7 and 8.

Ceramic Tea Pot Cleaning

Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the ceramic tea pot. Tea discolors these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the ceramic tea pot. To remove these stains, follow these simple steps:

1.Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.

2.Let solution stand in ceramic tea pot for about 20 minutes and then discard.

3.Wash and rinse the ceramic tea pot thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners. These will cause scratches which can lead to breakage.

Ceramic pot is not dishwasher safe.
