Deliming

The Iced Tea PotTM must be delimed when you begin to notice an increase in
heating time of the water in the brewer. This condition may be caused by a
buildup of lime and mineral deposits from your water.
The frequency of cleaning depends upon the hardness of the water used. The
following table gives the suggested cleaning intervals.
