Place. Close the brew basket .

a full pot. Do not exceed 30 ounces.  
6. Remove the ceramic tea pot lid from the water reservoir. Pour the water into the  
the water reservoir. In the opening of the reservoir you will find a knob and a series  
of spokes. This design prevents the water from splashing when it is poured into the

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

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.
