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 the 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.

TEA AND COFFEE MEASUREMENT CHART  
TO MAKE  
TEA  
COFFEE  
2 Quarts  
6-10 regular bags or  
2 – 4 level Tbsp.  
of loose tea  
5 – 7 coffee scoops or  
10 – 14 level Tbsp.  
1 Quart*  
3 – 5 regular bags or  
1 – 3 level Tbsp.  
of loose tea  
3 – 4 coffee scoops or  
6 – 8 level Tbsp.  
*When brewing only 1 quart of tea, fill the water and ice levels to half the amount used for 2 quarts.  
Helpful Hints  
1. Use more or less tea or coffee to suit your taste. Additional tea bags  
may be needed when using herbal tea.  
2. If your ice supply is low, you can substitute with cold tap water.  
After filling the water reservoir with the proper amount of water, refill the  
pitcher with cold tap water a second time to the desired WATER level.  
Refrigerate to chill.  
3. Tea may turn cloudy as it chills due to the tannic acids found in tea.  
Higher quality teas will contain more tannic acids than others.  
Using less tea will reduce the cloudiness.  
4. For extra flavor, try adding several bags of herbal or flavored tea  
to your brew.  
5. For excellent iced coffee, try dark roast coffee or any other flavored coffee.  
To Brew Iced Tea  
Please refer to Pages 5 and 6 for Diagram of Parts and Instructional Illustrations.  
1. Fill the water pitcher with tap water to the desired capacity. (When brewing  
only 1 Quart, fill to half the amount used for 2 Quarts). Do Not Overfill.  
WARNING:To prevent injury from hot steam, do not plug the unit in  
until water is in the reservoir and the pitcher is in place.  
2. Pour the water into the water reservoir.  
3. Fill the pitcher with ice cubes to the desired capacity as marked on the  
pitcher. (When brewing only 1 Quart, fill to half the amount used for  
2 Quarts).  
4. Place the steeping basket on top of the pitcher (See Figure F).  
5. Place a 8-12 cup basket size MR. COFFEE® paper filter into the  
steeping basket.  
7
 
6.Put desired amount of tea bags or loose tea into the filter. (See Tea and  
Coffee Measurement Chart listed previously). Sugar, lemon or other  
flavorings can also be added at this time. For best results use 1 ounce or  
2 Tbsp. of sugar. When using loose tea, add 2 ounces or 4 Tbsp. of sugar.  
These amounts will completely dissolve in the pitcher during the brewing  
cycle. If you should desire more sugar, add it directly into the pitcher after  
brewing. It may be helpful when using loose tea, to use two filters.  
Place one filter on the bottom of the steeping basket. Place desired  
amount of loose tea (and sugar) into filter. Nest the second filter on top  
of the loose tea (and sugar). Only 8-12 cup basket filters should be used.  
Place steeping lid on top of steeping basket.  
CAUTION: Do not operate the machine unless the pitcher and  
steeping basket with lid on are pushed snug against the machine.  
Otherwise, hot water and steam could escape.  
7.Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet and push the ON button to  
begin the brewing cycle (See Figure D). The indicator light will illuminate  
to let you know the machine is on. NOTE: If you wish to turn the machine off  
during the brewing cycle, grasp the molded plug and unplug the power cord.  
8.When the brewing cycle is completed, the unit will shut off automatically.  
The indicator light will go out to let you know the brewing cycle is completed.  
9.Slide the pitcher away from the machine (See Figure D).  
CAUTION: Some residual steam may escape from the machine  
when the cycle is complete. For your safety, please slide the pitcher  
away from the machine before you continue.  
10.When the tea has drained, remove the steeping basket and replace it  
with the pitcher lid.You are now ready to serve refreshingly cold iced tea.  
11.Discard the contents of the steeping basket. Rinse out the steeping basket  
and lid with water after each use.  
12.If you have left over tea, cover the pitcher with the pitcher lid  
and store it in the refrigerator.  
13.When the machine is not in use, the pitcher stores upside down  
on the machine (See Figure E on Page 6).  
To Brew Iced Coffee  
Follow the instructions for iced tea using the suggested amount of coffee  
in the chart listed on Page 7.  
CAUTION: Decaffeinated coffee, particularly when used with chemically  
softened water, can cause slower filtration.

Daily Care  
To maintain the quality of all parts and minimize tea stains, we recommend  
washing the pitcher, pitcher lid, steeping basket and lid with warm water  
and a mild detergent, regularly. THESE ITEMS ARE NOT DISHWASHER SAFE.  
Hard water can leave whitish mineral deposits inside the pitcher and steeping  
basket. Tea and coffee discolor these deposits. To remove, fill the basket  
and pitcher with warm white vinegar and let it soak for about 20 minutes.  
Do not use harsh, abrasive cleaners. They will cause scratches which  
can lead to breakage.  
Deliming  
This unit must be delimed when you begin to notice an increase in steaming  
or if the pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of  
the machine.  
The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used.  
Listed below are the suggested cleaning intervals.

writing or calling the Consumer Service Department listed on Page 11.

1. Fill pitcher with warm water to the water level marked on the pitcher.  
(36 ounces of warm water)  
2. Empty contents of one packet of MR. COFFEE® CLEANER into pitcher.  
Mix thoroughly to dissolve cleaner. This will make a clear blue solution.  
3. Pour entire contents of pitcher into the water reservoir of the iced tea maker.  
4. Place one tray of ice cubes in the pitcher.  
5. Place steeping basket, with lid, into the pitcher and slide the pitcher

solution. When completed, wash pitcher, steeping basket, and lid with mild  
detergent and rinse thoroughly.  
10.If a normal brewing flow rate is not achieved, repeat the cleaning  
procedure.  
Using Vinegar:  
1.Pour 1 quart of undiluted white household vinegar into the water reservoir.  
2.Place one tray of ice cubes in pitcher.  
3.Place the steeping basket with lid into the pitcher and slide it under the  
machine. The pitcher must be placed snug against the machine before  
operation.  
4.Push the ON button to begin the brewing cycle. After approximately 1 cup  
of vinegar has pumped into the pitcher, unplug the appliance and allow it  
to sit for 30 minutes.  
5.Plug the cord back in and turn the machine ON to pump out the remaining  
vinegar.  
6.When the machine shuts off, remove the pitcher and discard the vinegar.  
7.Fill the pitcher with clear tap water to the water level marked on the pitcher  
and repeat Steps 1 through 4 (no vinegar). Turn the machine ON to rinse  
out all traces of vinegar.  
8.Repeat rinsing procedure.  
Pitcher Cleaning  
Hard water can leave whitish mineral deposits inside the pitcher. Tea and coffee  
discolor these deposits. To remove, fill the pitcher with hot white vinegar  
and let soak for about 20 minutes. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.  
They will cause scratches which can lead to breakage.

Helpful Hints  
Fresh tap water should be used in the machine at all times. DO NOT USE  
HOT WATER.  
Use only genuine MR. COFFEE® 8-12 cup basket filters for best brewing  
performance.  
Avoid using chemically softened water whenever possible. The use of  
chemically softened water can inhibit proper filtration. This will affect the  
beverage flavor and will cause a long drip time from the steeping basket.
