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.
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.
4. To remove the build-up of tannin, the
astringent chemical constituent of tea, fill
the glass jug with water up to the MAX
mark and bring water to boil and allow
water to cool for one minute. Add contents
of Breville Tea Maker Cleaner (available at
Breville web page) and allow to stand for
5 minutes. Empty tea maker, refill with fresh
water and boil. Repeat this step again.
Empty the tea maker and rinse thoroughly.
5. Dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth

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-colored 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 descale
the glass jug regularly. Use Breville Descaler
(available at Breville web page) and follow
the instructions.
NOTE
Allow all parts of the tea maker to cool
completely before disassembling and
cleaning.
WARNING
Never immerse the BASE OF THE GLASS
JUG, POWER BASE, POWER CORD or
POWER PLUG in water or allow moisture
to come in contact with these parts.
CLEANING THE OUTER LID
1. Wash the outer lid in warm soapy water
with a soft sponge, rinse and dry thoroughly.
2. Alternatively, the outer lid is dishwasher
safe.
3. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to
using.
CLEANING THE BASKET
1. Wash the inner lid and tea basket in warm
soapy water with a soft sponge, rinse and
dry thoroughly. A non-abrasive liquid
cleanser or mild spray solution may be used
to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the
cleanser to the sponge, not the accessory
surfaces, before cleaning.
2. The tea basket is dishwasher safe, but the
inner lid is not.
3. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior
to using.
CLEANING THE POWER BASE

damp sponge.
