1. Place appliance on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge.
2. Fill the pitcher with fresh, cold water to the water level marking. Lift the reservoir
lid and pour the water into the water reservoir. Note: Do not fill above the
“MAX” fill marking. If too much water is poured into the water reservoir, it will
come out of the overflow opening on the back of the Iced Tea Maker body.
3. Remove the filter and brew basket from the Iced Tea Maker.
4. For sweet tea, wet the inside of the sweetener chamber with water. Add a
maximum of 1 cup of sugar to the sweetener chamber. Adjust the amount to suit
your taste. Note: Leave the sweetener chamber in the Iced Tea Maker, even if
you do not make sweet tea.
5. Place the brew basket on top of the sweetener chamber. If using bagged tea,
place the tea bags in the brew basket according to the “TEA MEASUREMENT”
guide in this manual. The filter can be placed on top of the tea bags in the brew
basket. If using loose tea, place the filter on top of the brew basket. Add loose
tea according to the “TEA MEASUREMENT” guide.
6. Close the water reservoir lid.
7. Adjust the steeping control knob to your desired
strength, mild on the left and strong on the right.
8. Fill the pitcher with ice cubes to the “ICE” level
marking. Note: If you want to use cold water in
place of ice, fill the pitcher with water to the
“WATER” level marking, not the “ICE” level marking,
as the pitcher will overflow once the hot tea is
brewed into the pitcher.
9. Place the cover on the pitcher, and the pitcher on
the drip tray. Tea can be brewed with the cover in place, or off.
10. Plug the cord into a 120 volt, AC electric outlet only. Press the power button.
The button will light up, indicating that the power is on. If the power button is
pressed again, it will stop the brew cycle. The brew cycle may be continued by
pressing the power button again, but there must be water in the water chamber
for the Iced Tea Maker to operate properly. Note: Turning off the appliance
WILL NOT immediately empty water from the brew basket. Allow several
minutes for the water to flow into the pitcher before removing it.
11. When the brewing cycle is complete, the Iced Tea Maker will automatically shut
off. This takes approximately 10 minutes. Wait a few minutes for all the water
to flow into the pitcher until the water stops dripping. Note: The tea maker body
may become warm during use. This is normal.
12. Remove the pitcher and serve. Note: If making sweet tea, gently stir the iced
tea in the pitcher to thoroughly mix the contents prior to serving. For storage,
place the cover on the pitcher. Twist so that neither of the pour openings face
the spout.
13. After the appliance has cooled, open the water reservoir lid and remove the
filter, brew basket, and sweetener chamber. Discard the used leaves or bags
and rinse thoroughly in warm water.
14. To clean, follow the cleaning instructions in this manual.
• A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to
the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.
• Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating
and cooling – this is normal.
