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:

CLEAN YOUR ICED TEA MAKER BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME
Make sure your first glass of iced tea or iced coffee 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.
1. Remove brew basket by moving the rotating shower head.
2. Wash the pitcher, pitcher lid and brew basket in a mixture of mild detergent
and water. Rinse each thoroughly.
3. 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.
6
9
4. Rotate the shower head back to its proper position over the brew basket.
Close the water reservoir lid.
BREWING ICED TEA OR ICED COFFEE
1. Fill the pitcher with fresh, cold water to the
desired water level capacity (1, 2 or 3 quarts). Do
not overfill.
5. Place the pitcher lid on the pitcher. Open the pitcher spout cover. Slide the
pitcher towards the iced tea maker with the pitcher spout fitting just under
the Steep Control.
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.
6. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and push the “on” button.
7. When the cycle is complete, your iced tea maker will shut off automatically.
3. Place the brew basket back in its place, inserting
an 8-12 cup MR. COFFEE® paper filter into the
brew basket. Add the desired amount of tea or
coffee (see the Measurement Chart). You may now
add sugar, lemon or other flavorings to the brew
basket to suit your taste.
8. 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.
4. Rotate the shower head back into position so that
it is now over the brew basket. Close the water
reservoir lid.
Your iced tea maker is now ready to use. Enjoy it!
5. Adjust the steeping lever to your desired brewing
strength. The farther the lever is to the right, the
stronger the tea.
6. Fill the pitcher with ice cubes to the desired ice
level marked on the pitcher. Replace the pitcher
lid with the lid 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 or coffee
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 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.
