Care & Cleaning
CLEANING THE GLASS JUG
1. After each use, empty the glass jug. Do not
allow brewed tea to stand overnight.
2. Wipe the interior of the glass jug with a soft
damp sponge or rinse with warm water.
Tea deposits will enhance the flavour of
the brewed tea, so if only using as a Tea
Maker™ do not wash with soapy water.
3. Wipe the exterior of the glass jug
with a soft damp cloth to clean.
WARNING
Never immerse or wash exterior of glass jug
under running water.
NOTE
Do not use chemicals, steel wool, or abrasive
cleaners to clean the inside or outside of the
glass jug as these may scratch the surface.

NOTE
Through regular use over time, scale build-
up can affect the performance and the life
of the Tea Maker™. Lime and phosphate are
common forms of scale that can damage
your Tea Maker™. Lime scale, a harmless
mineral, comes in the appearance of
white-coloured or rusty looking build up
on the inner walls and inner base of the
glass jug. Phosphate scale can't be seen,
however, it can cause the water to appear
cloudy when heated. To prevent scale
from damaging your Tea Maker™, ensure
to de-scale the glass jug regularly. Use a
commercial de-scaling agent and follow
the instructions that come with the agent.
