Using Your Iced Tea Maker - West Bend 68303 Manual De Instrucciones

1. Place appliance on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge.
2. Fill the pitcher with fresh, cold water to the water level marking. Lift the reservoir
lid and pour the water into the water reservoir. Note: Do not fill above the
"MAX" fill marking. If too much water is poured into the water reservoir, it will
come out of the overflow opening on the back of the Iced Tea Maker body.
3. Remove the filter and brew basket from the Iced Tea Maker.
4. For sweet tea, wet the inside of the sweetener chamber with water. Add up to 1
cup of sugar to the sweetener chamber. Note: Leave the sweetener chamber
in the Iced Tea Maker, even if you do not make sweet tea.
5. Place the brew basket on top of the sweetener chamber. If using bagged tea,
place the tea bags in the brew basket according to the "TEA MEASUREMENT"
guide in this manual. The filter can be placed on top of the tea bags in the brew
basket. If using loose tea, place the filter on top of the brew basket. Add loose
tea according to the "TEA MEASUREMENT" guide.
6. Close the water reservoir lid.
7. Adjust the steeping control knob to your desired brew
strength, mild on the left and strong on the right.
8. Fill the pitcher with ice cubes to the "ICE" level
marking. Note: If you want to use cold water in place
of ice, fill the pitcher with water to the "WATER" level
marking, not the "ICE" level marking, as the pitcher
will overflow once the hot tea is brewed into the
pitcher.
9. Place the cover on the pitcher, and the pitcher on the drip tray. Tea can be
brewed with the lid in place, or off.
10. Plug cord into a 120 volt, AC electric outlet only. Press the power button. The
button will light up, indicating that the power is on. If the button is pressed
before the machine is plugged into an outlet, plugging the machine into an outlet
will start the brewing cycle; the light will be illuminated.
Note: If the power button was pressed before adding water, the appliance will
automatically shut off; this is a safety feature. Fill the chamber with cold water,
wait approximately 5 minutes and press the power button.
11. When the brewing cycle is complete, the Iced Tea Maker will automatically shut
off. This takes approximately 10 minutes. Wait a few minutes for all the water
to flow into the pitcher until the water stops dripping. Note: When using sugar, it
may take longer for all the tea to dispense.
12. Remove the pitcher and serve. Note: If making sweet tea, gently stir the iced
tea in the pitcher to thoroughly mix the contents prior to serving. For storage,
place the cover on the pitcher. Twist so that neither of the pour openings face
the spout.
13. After the appliance has cooled, open the water reservoir lid and remove the
filter, brew basket, and sweetener chamber. Discard the used leaves or bags
and rinse thoroughly in warm water.
14. To clean, follow the cleaning instructions in this manual.
