steaming or the steeping time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a
buildup of lime and mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action stops before

gives the suggested cleaning intervals.

Ceramic Tea Pot Cleaning
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the ceramic tea pot. Tea discolors
these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the ceramic tea pot. To
remove mineral scale, follow these simple steps:
1.
Use a solution of equal pans white vinegar and hot water.
2.
Let solution stand in ceramic tea pot for about 20 minutes and then discard.
3.
Wash and rinse the ceramic tea pot thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh
abrasive cleaners. These will cause scratches which can lead to breakage.
Cersmicm
To remove tea stains:
1.
Place l-2 Tablespoons of liquid or granular dishwasher detergent in the
ceramic tea pot. Fill ceramic tea pot to rim with warm or hot water.
2.
Let solution sit 20 minutes or until stubborn stains are removed. Repeat if
necessary.
