prevent any after drip. Slide the pitcher away from the machine and you are
ready to serve refreshingly cold iced tea.
the contents of the steeping
basket. Rinse out the steeping basket
and lid with warm water after each
use. (The steeping valve on the bottom
of the basket may become sticky and
not open and close properly, if not
rinsed out regularly).

To Brew Iced Coffee
Figure H
Using the suggested amount of coffee in the chart listed on page 6, fol-
low the instructions for making iced tea except for instruction #4. Instead
of turning the steeping dial to “closed”, keep it in the “open” position. It is
not necessary to steep coffee!
CAUTION: Decaffeinated coffee, particularly when used with chemically
softened water, can cause slower filtration. The steeping dial must be left
in the “open” position or the unit may overflow.
Problem Solving
The tea is too weak:
- add more tea.
- herbal tea does not brew as strong, you may need to use more tea.
- after the machine shuts off, wait for a few minutes before draining the
remaining tea into the pitcher.
-check to make sure the steeping dial is in the closed position during
brewing so that the tea steeps.
The tea is too strong:
- use less tea.
-the tea may be steeping too long. Be sure to drain the remaining tea in
the steeping basket by turning the steeping dial to “open” as soon as
the machine shuts off.
I do not have enough ice:
- use cold tap water as a substitute. See Helpful Hint #2 on page 6.
