Care & Cleaning

CLEANING THE GLASS JUG

• After each use, empty the glass jug.

Do not allow brewed tea to stand overnight.

Allow the glass jug to fully cool before

cleaning.

damp sponge or rinse with warm water.

• 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.

• To remove the build-up of tannin; the

astringent chemical constituent of tea,

remove the tea basket, ll the glass jug

with water up to the MAX mark, bring water

to the boil and allow to cool for one minute.

Add the contents of the Sage Tea Maker

Cleaner (available at Sage web page) and

allow to stand for 5 minutes.

Empty tea maker, rell with fresh water

and bring water to the boil. Repeat this

step again then rinse the inside of the

glass jug thoroughly. Dry thoroughly with

a soft, lint-free cloth before using.

NOTE

Through regular use over time, scale build-up

can aect the performance and the life of the

Tea Maker™ Compact. Lime and phosphate

are common forms of scale that can damage

your Sage Tea Maker™ Compact. Lime

scale, a harmless mineral, comes in the

appearance of white-coloured 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™ Compact,

ensure to descale the glass jug regularly. Use

the Sage Descaler (available at Sage web

page) and follow the instructions.

NOTE

Allow all parts of the Tea Maker™ Compact

to cool completely before disassembling

and cleaning.

WARNING

lid, power base, power cord or power plug in

water or allow moisture to come in contact

with these parts.
