Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and labels from the appliance.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the pitcher, lid, and brew basket in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the exterior of the brewing unit with a damp cloth.
3. Placement: Place the iced tea and coffee maker on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from the edge of the counter. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.
4. First Brew Cycle (Water Only): To clean the internal components, fill the water reservoir with clean water up to the 3-quart mark. Place the empty pitcher with its lid under the dispenser. Run a brew cycle without any tea or coffee. Discard the water.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to brew your favorite iced tea or coffee:

1. Prepare the Pitcher: Fill the 3-quart pitcher with ice cubes up to the indicated ice line. Place the pitcher with its lid (ensuring the lid is correctly positioned for brewing) under the dispenser of the brewing unit.
2. Add Water: Open the lid of the brewing unit and fill the water reservoir with fresh, cold water up to the desired level, typically the 3-quart mark for a full pitcher. Close the lid securely.
3. Add Tea or Coffee: Place the removable brew basket into its designated slot. For tea, add tea bags or loose tea into the brew basket. For coffee, add coffee grounds. Refer to the recipe or your preference for quantity.
4. Select Brew Strength: Adjust the Brew Strength selector bar to your desired intensity (e.g., strong, regular).
5. Start Brewing: Plug the appliance into a standard electrical outlet. Press the ON/OFF button or switch to start the brewing cycle. The indicator light will illuminate.
6. Brewing Process: Hot water will be dispensed over the tea or coffee, dripping into the ice-filled pitcher below. The appliance will automatically shut off once the brewing cycle is complete.
7. Serve: Once brewing is complete and the appliance has shut off, carefully remove the pitcher. Stir the brewed beverage to ensure the ice is fully melted and the flavor is evenly distributed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures the best taste and extends the life of your appliance.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, unplug the appliance and allow it to cool. Remove the pitcher, lid, and brew basket. These parts are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended) or can be washed by hand with warm, soapy water.
• Wipe Down: Wipe the exterior of the brewing unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the brewing unit in water or any other liquid.
• Descaling (Self-Cleaning Cycle): Over time, mineral deposits can build up. To descale, fill the water reservoir with a mixture of one part white vinegar and two parts water. Place the empty pitcher under the dispenser. Run a brew cycle. After the cycle, discard the vinegar solution and run two full cycles with clean water to rinse thoroughly. This process should be performed every 1-3 months depending on water hardness.
