Maintenance Tips

• Clean brew funnel, sprayhead, and strainer daily to remove tea particles and prevent clogging or uneven extraction.
• Rinse brew basket and server with hot water after each brew cycle to reduce residue buildup and maintain flavor quality.
• Wipe sprayhead area daily and ensure spray holes remain open and free of mineral deposits for proper flow.
• Descale the internal tank regularly (more often in hard-water areas) to maintain heating efficiency and consistent brew temperature.
• Sanitize all tea-contact parts daily (funnels, servers, lids) to prevent bacterial growth and flavor contamination.
• Never use abrasive cleaners or soap on sprayhead components—use a damp cloth and approved cleaning tools.
• Inspect dilution nozzle and fittings periodically to ensure proper iced tea strength and avoid overflow issues.
• Run periodic hot-water flush cycles to clear internal lines and reduce tea oil buildup.
• Ensure servers are cleaned after each use—do not store brewed tea overnight to avoid spoilage and buildup.
• Keep the brewer exterior clean and dry, and check electrical connections and water inlet lines for leaks during routine maintenance.
