ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING THE ICED TEA MAKER

• Place the appliance well back from the edge of the counter.
• Avoid appliance areas which may become hot or emit steam when the iced tea maker is on, particularly the steeping/brew basket and the water reservoir.
• The water reservoir lid must be on at all times while the appliance is brewing.
• DO NOT operate the iced tea maker unless the pitcher has its lid on and is fitted snugly against the appliance.
• DO NOT move the appliance while in use or until it has cooled off. Steam may escape from the steeping/brew basket while the appliance is cooling.
• DO NOT place a tablecloth or other fabric underneath the appliance or otherwise restrict airflow beneath it.
• DO NOT jerk or pull on the power cord when unplugging the appliance, grasp the molded plug to unplug it.
• Never reheat a beverage by passing it through the appliance’s brewing system.
• DO NOT immerse the appliance in water. This may cause electrocution or shock, damage it permanently and void the warranty.

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

2. An extension cord may be purchased and used if care is exercised in its use.
3. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least 10 amps and 120 volts. The resulting extended cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

CLEAN YOUR ICED TEA MAKER BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME

Make sure your first glass of iced tea is as good as can be by cleaning your MR. COFFEE ® Iced Tea Maker before using it for the first time. Just follow these simple steps:
WARNING! To prevent injuries from steam, do not plug in the appliance until you have poured water in the reservoir, the lid is closed and the pitcher is in its place.

• Remove brew basket by moving the rotating shower head.
• Wash the pitcher, pitcher lid and brew basket in the dishwasher or with a mixture of mild detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly.
• Fill the pitcher with water to the top water level mark. Lift the reservoir lid on the iced tea maker and pour the water into the water reservoir. Do not overfill. Insert the brew basket in its place.
• Rotate the shower head back to its proper position over the brew basket. Close the water reservoir lid.
• Fill pitcher to 3 quart level with ice.
• Place the pitcher lid on the pitcher. Slide the pitcher towards the iced tea maker with the pitcher spout fitting just under the Adjustable Tea Steeping Control.
• Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and push the “on” button.
• When the cycle is complete, your iced tea maker will shut off automatically.
• Slide the pitcher away from the iced tea maker and discard the water in the pitcher.

NOTE: Plugging the iced tea maker into an electrical outlet may trigger the brewing cycle since the “on” button may have inadvertently been pushed. Also, if you wish to turn the iced tea maker off during the brewing cycle, just grasp the  molded plug and unplug the power cord.
Your iced tea maker is now ready to use. Enjoy it!

Water Filtration System
(Water filtration is not supplied with this unit, but it may be ordered separately by visiting our website or calling 1-800-Mr. Coffee.)
This carbon-based water filter improves the taste of your tea by removing up to 97% of the chlorine from the water you may use to brew your tea.
First look for the MR. COFFEE ® Filtration Friendly symbol on the bottom of your filter basket. If you do not see this symbol, please call 1-800-672-6333.
To use the water filtration system in your MR. COFFEE ® Iced Tea Maker, please follow these steps:

1. Using the red indicator on the frame water filter, align the indicator to the letter on the frame that corresponds with the month that you are using the disk for the first time. This serves to remind you to change the disk every month  (approx. 30 brewing cycles).
2. Place the MR.COFFEE® paper filter in the filter basket. Place tea in the paper filter.
3. Place the MR. COFFEE® water filter in the filter basket, making sure that the side marked “this side up” faces you and that the water filter is level.
4. Close the filter basket lid. You are now ready to brew a great tasting tea.
5. When you are done brewing your tea, rinse the water filter with fresh water. Do not put your water filter in the dishwasher.

To replace the water filter disks: twist the gray disk cover from your water filtration system. Remove the used disk. Insert the new disk into the frame and twist the cover back into place.

BREWING ICED TEA

1. Fill the pitcher with fresh, cold water to the desired water level capacity (1, 2 or 3 quarts). Do not overfill.

2. Lift the water reservoir lid, rotate the shower head out of the way and remove the brew basket. Pour water into the water reservoir (Figure 1).

3. Place the brew basket back in its place, inserting a 4 cup MR. COFFEE ® paper filter into the brew basket. Add the desired amount of tea (see the Measurement Chart). You may now add sugar, lemon or other flavorings to the brew  basket to suit your taste (Figure 2).

4. Rotate the shower head back into position so that it is now over the brew basket. Close the water reservoir lid.
   NOTE: Reservoir lid will not close if shower head is not in proper position.

5. Adjust the steeping lever to your desired brewing strength.

6. Fill the pitcher with ice cubes to the desired ice level marked on the pitcher (Figure 3). Replace the pitcher lid with the pitcher spout cover in the open position. If you are low on ice, you may substitute cold water, refilling the pitcher to the desired 1, 2 or 3 quart WATER level – DO NOT fill to the ICE level as this will cause an overflow when the tea brews.

7. Slide the pitcher towards the iced tea maker with the pitcher spout open and fitting just under the Steep Control, flush against the appliance.
   NOTE: If the pitcher and its lid are not pushed snugly against the iced tea maker, hot water and hot steam/water could escape and cause injury.

8. Turn the iced tea maker on by plugging the power cord into an electrical outlet and pushing the “on” button firmly until the ON indicator light is illuminated.

9. When the brewing cycle is complete, the iced tea maker will shut off automatically. Wait 30 seconds, then slide the pitcher away from the appliance and serve your iced tea. Your tea may turn cloudy as it chills due to the presence of naturally- occurring tannic acids found in tea.
   CAUTION: When performing this step, some residual steam may escape.

10. After you are done enjoying your iced beverage, wait for the iced tea maker contents to cool down before handling. Then, open the reservoir lid, rotate the shower head out of the way and remove the brew basket. Discard its contents and rinse it with clean water.

MEASUREMENT CHART

Use more or less tea according to taste. Additional tea bags or loose tea may be used to brew herbal tea.

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:

Suggested Cleaning Interval

Type of Water| Cleaning Frequency
Soft Water
Hard Water| Every 80 Brew Cycles
Every 40 Brew Cycles

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. 30 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.
