Your Breville One-Touch Tea Maker is a quality appliance. The best materials were used in making it, and it was carefully engineered to let you enjoy perfectly brewed tea for years to come. However, as with any machine, it needs your care in order to operate as it is intended to. Please follow our care tips below.

Routine Maintenance

Ensure the Tea Maker is turned OFF by pressing the TEA/Cancel button (when brewing tea) or the HOT WATER/Cancel button (when heating water) on the Power Base. The Tea Maker is OFF when the button surround illumination goes out. Remove the power plug from the wall outlet. Allow all parts of the Tea Maker to cool completely before disassembling and cleaning.

NOTE: Only the Jug Lid, Tea Basket, Tea Basket Lid, and Tea Scoop are dishwasher-safe.

CAUTION: 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 Jug Lid and integrated scale filter

1.	Wash the Jug Lid in warm soapy water with a soft sponge, rinse and dry thoroughly. The integrated scale filter can be cleaned by placing under running hot water and rubbing with a cleaning cloth or brush.
2.	Alternatively, the Jug Lid is dishwasher safe. Position the Jug Lid vertically so the scale filter is facing upwards. This will allow water to drain properly.
3.	Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to using.

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.NOTE: Tea deposits will enhance the flavor 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.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 buildup of tannin, the astringent chemical constituent of tea, fill the Glass Jug with water up to the water maximum mark (1500mL WATER MAX) and either: Add the juice of one lemon, as well as the lemon, and boil. Leave to soak overnight then discard the solution. Fill the Glass Jug with clean water, boil, then discard the water. Repeat if necessary. Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda and boil. Leave to soak overnight then discard the solution. Fill the Glass Jug with clean water, boil, then discard the water. Repeat if necessary. Add 6 tablespoons of white vinegar and boil. Leave to soak overnight then discard the solution. Fill the Glass Jug with clean water, boil, then discard the water. Repeat if necessary.
5.	Dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth before using.

NOTE: Through regular use over time, scale buildup 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, appears as white-colored or rusty looking buildup 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 a commercial descaling agent and follow the instructions that come with the agent.

Cleaning the Tea Basket Lid, Tea Basket, and Tea Scoop

1.	Wash the Tea Basket Lid, Tea Basket, and Tea Scoop 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 buildup of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the accessory surfaces, before cleaning.
2.	Alternatively, these accessories are dishwasher-safe.
3.	Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to using.

Cleaning the Power Base

1.	Ensure the Tea Maker is unplugged.
2.	Wipe the Power Base with a soft damp sponge.
3.	Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a wall outlet.

The button surround will cease to illuminate and the LCD screen will no longer display BASKET CYCLE. The Basket will return to the bottom of the Glass Jug for the remaining brewing time.

Tea Types

There are four main types of teas from the tea plant Camellia sinensis. The picking and processing methods determine the type of tea finally produced.

• Black tea is the most common type of tea worldwide. It is made by fermenting the harvested leaves for a couple of hours before heating or drying. This oxidation darkens the leaves and increases the amount of caffeine. Of all the teas, black tea has the strongest color and flavor.
• White tea is the rarest and the most exclusive tea. White tea consists of the whitish buds of the tea plant which are steamed and then left to dry naturally. This tea is low in caffeine and has a slightly sweet flavor.
• Green tea makes up approximately ten percent of the world’s tea. The leaves are picked, rolled, and dried before they can go brown. Green tea has a distinctive aroma and a slight astringent taste.
• Oolong tea is semi-fermented, which means the leaves are processed immediately after picking. They only have a short period of oxidation, which turns the leaves from green to red/brown. Its leaves have a floral, fruity quality and hence the tea has a delicate fruity taste. Drinking oolong tea with milk, sugar, or lemon is not recommended.
• Herbal infusions or Tisanes are not produced from the tea plant, but from flowers, leaves, roots, or seeds. Common herbal beverages are chamomile, peppermint, fennel, rose hip, and lemon verbena. Herbal infusions that do not contain tea will generally not become bitter with extended brews. These can often be brewed with boiling water 3 times without jeopardizing the taste.
• Blends are made by combining different types of teas, often in order to achieve flavor consistency from one season to the next. Common black tea blends include English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Irish Breakfast, and Russian Caravan.

Tips for optimal tea brewing

1. 1. Water quality affects taste. For best results, use filtered water.
   2. Finer tea particles and leaves will infuse more quickly than whole leaves. As a result, finer tea particles often release too much tannin too quickly, creating a harsher taste. Adjust the brewing time until desired strength is achieved.
   3. Using the tea scoop provided, spoon roughly one scoop of tea per 1 cup/8 oz. of water.

Glass Jug Marking	Approx. Cups/Ounces	Tea Scoops
500mL	2 cups/16 oz.	2 scoops
750mL	3 cups/24 oz.	3 scoops
1000mL	4 cups/32 oz.	4 scoops
1200mL	5 cups/40 oz.	5 scoops
