Instructions for Mr. Coffee Tea Maker

The Mr. Coffee Tea Maker brews the perfect pitcher of iced tea almost instantaneously. It's a quick and convenient alternative to brewing hot tea and cooling it or making sun tea. Upon receiving your tea maker, you might have questions about how to operate the device. Following some steps and preparing your device will have your tea maker brewing tea quickly and efficiently.

Instructions
1- Fill the pitcher with water to the one, two or three quart level indicated on the side of the pitcher. Pour the water from the pitcher into the reservoir (the main unit of the tea maker) with the steeping basket removed.
2- Place a filter (preferably Mr. Coffee brand) into the basket, so that the filter fits snugly against the bottom and edges. Place the desired amount of teabags or loose tea inside the filter in the basket. Use 8 to 12 regular sized teabags or 3 to 5 level tablespoons of loose tea for three quarts of iced tea, 6 to 10 teabags or 2 to 4 tablespoons of loose tea for two quarts, and 3 to 5 teabags or 1 to 3 tablespoons of loose tea for one quart. If the tea is herbal, you might need more tea bags. If you like, add lemon, sugar or flavorings to the basket during this time. Slip the basket on top of the water reservoir into its slot until you hear an audible click. Place the lid on top of the basket. Confirm that the steeping dial located on the front of the steeping basket is set to "closed."
3- Place plenty of ice cubes into the pitcher to fill it to the corresponding one-, two- or three-quart capacity, and put the lid on the pitcher. Open the spout on the lid and slip the ice-filled pitcher under the lip of the machine, spout first. Confirm that the spout is directly beneath the brewing basket lip, or the tea might miss the pitcher while brewing.
4- Plug the tea maker's cord into an AC wall outlet and turn the device on by pushing the "ON" button, which is located on the front of the machine below the label. You will see the indicator light next to the "On" button illuminate. Your tea will begin to brew into the pitcher, melt the ice cubes and chill the beverage.
5- Allow the brew cycle to finish completely. The illuminator light will turn off after the cycle has finished. Drain the rest of the tea in the steeping basket by turning the steeping dial to "Open." The remaining tea will pour into the pitcher. If you would like to add an extra boost of strength to your tea, wait a few minutes before draining the excess tea from the basket.
