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:

It’s recommended that you regularly remove mineral deposits by using MR. COFFEE® Cleaner or undiluted, white household vinegar. MR. COFFEE® Cleaner is available at many retail stores or by calling the MR. COFFEE® Consumer Service Department at 1-800-MR COFFEE (1-800-672-6333).

1. Follow package instructions to prepare one batch of MR. COFFEE® Cleaner. Pour the mixture or one quart of undiluted, white household vinegar into the water reservoir.
2. Place the pitcher lid on the pitcher and slide the pitcher into place under the iced tea maker.
3. Push the “on” button to begin the brewing cycle. After one cup of cleaner or vinegar has pumped into the pitcher, unplug the iced tea maker. Let it stand for 30 minutes.
4. Plug in the iced tea maker again. Continue brewing process again to pump out the remaining cleaner or vinegar.
5. When the iced tea maker shuts off, unplug it, remove the pitcher and discard the cleaning solution.
6. Fill the pitcher with clean tap water to the 3-quart water level marked on the pitcher and repeat Steps 1-5 without the cleaning solution. Repeat this process if necessary.

Water Filtration Disk Replacement

Your water filtration disk will need to be replaced once a month (approx. brew cycles). If the machine will not be in use for an extended period of time, rinse the water filter with running water and clean the iced tea maker before use.
