REGULAR CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR MR. COFFEE
®
TEA CAFÉ ICED TEA MAKER
Make sure to unplug cord. Clean only with a damp cloth.
Hard water can leave mineral deposits inside the pitcher and the
brew basket. To remove these, soak the brew basket and fill 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
®
TEA CAFÉ 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 DECALCIFYING INTERVAL
TYPE OF WATER CLEANING FREQUENCY
Soft Water Every 80 Brew Cycles
Hard Water Every 40 Brew Cycles
It’s recommended that you regularly remove mineral deposits by using
undiluted, white household vinegar.
1. Pour 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 Rotating Brew Head.
3. Push the “on” button to begin the brewing cycle. After one cup of
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 water to the water level marked on the
pitcher and repeat Steps 1-5 without the cleaning solution. Repeat
this process if necessary.
