How do you clean the pitcher? I've misplaced the directions.

Soft cloth, warm soap and water. Do NOT use soap on the cube. Clean it separately.

You can just take the cube out turning counter-clockwise, and clean with soap and water as you would any pitcher. Then put the cube back in and turn clockwise to tighten.

I can't get it set up. While trying to set it up I got it in some mode where the pitcher rolls vertically and I can't read the screen, and I can't reset the unit. IT'S just sitting here. Is there any thing I can do????? Thank you

The pitcher is definitely NOT dishwasher safe. Many customers have mentioned how the dishwasher ruined the pitcher.

You don't pre-soak, you just put the filter in the pitcher and fill with water, then drain a couple of times before using.

I pulled my manual out and here are the cleaning directions. After using the device 5-6 times or 2-3 days, clean as follows: 1. Unplug the power cord from the base of the unit and uncover. 2. Pour out any remaining water from the "DRAIN SIDE" of the tank. 3. Put 1 Tablespoon of citric acid in the water tank, add just under 100 ml of warm water. 4. Leave water for 5 minutes, and then drain the solution from the "DRAIN SIDE" of the tank. 5. Wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid Ultrasonic Vibration plate area, which can be gently cleaned with a cotton bud. Never use other acids, enzymes or detergents, as this may risk poisonous gas to be created or cause malfunction.

I mostly just rinse it out real good now and then. I know they make a cleaning solution for them, but I've never it. If you're only filling it with clean tap or purified water I would just occassionly put some clean water and a small amount of household bleach, like 1/4tsp. at most and swish it around real good, squeeze some out thru the tube and bite valve and then thoroughly rinse it, and you should be good to go.

Listed below are the cleaning directions listed on the product's packaging; "Cleaning instructions for lid; 1. Soak in boiling water with 3 lemon wedges until clean. 2. Wash as normal using toothpaste instead of dish soap." These instructions were under a paper barcode sticker I went to the company's website and was surprised not to find anything regarding cleaning.

Try tightening with wrench first. If it happens again and your pitcher still in perfect shape just buy a new blades part and keep the same pitcher. You will save, a lot of money this way and no sense replacing pitcher if there is no issue with it.

I use bleach water. Let it soak for a few minutes and then clean with soft brush.

I use 10. Fill pitcher with cold water to about halfway up the neck (8-9 cups of water). Add tea bags. Put it in the fridge for a few hours or overnight and that's it.

all the parts come out pretty easy, you will not damage it. it does take a little bit of force to pull it all apart but like i said you will not damage it. i have done this several times to clean the pitcher or change out the filter and i did not damage it. hope this helps!

The directions say to clean once a week. I dump out whatever water and oil is left in the container. Then I pour in white vinegar and add hot water up to the fill line. I wait twenty or so minutes and then swish the water and vinegar around with my hands rubbing in areas where it has turned a little brown. I also rub my finger on the pad around the bottom to clean out the brown stuff down there. I then dump out the water and dry it with a white dish towel. I also put some vinegar into the lid and rub out the brown spot that appears in the middle. So far, so good. The machine still works and it looks good too. The directions say to clean once a week.

My pitcher cracked because I foolishly put it in the dishwasher a few times to remove unsightly tea stains. If your local housewares retailer no longer carries your model of Mr Coffee tea maker, I would check out some neighborhood garage or estate sales. A clorox and water soak should sanitize it sufficiently for safe use.

If the water is not flowing down into the pitcher, the filter is clogged. If you mean that the filter is stuck to the top, you must turn the filter to remove it. You cannot pull the filter out. You must twist it out. If it is hard to twist it because it is wet, take a dry cloth and hold onto the blue filter and twist it out.

Not to my knowledge. Why would you need to remove the blades? If it's for cleaning, then all you have to do it add some hot soapy water to the pitcher and turn it on.

To be honest with you I don't know. The pitcher is pretty thick plastic & sturdy. Maybe try it with a little water. But, that's up to you. Good luck!

Hi. No...you need to soak the filter for about 30 minutes, and then fill the pitcher (filter the water through). Once it's full, dump out the water and repeat. Once or twice through usually takes care of the black particles. The particles aren't danerous (I think it's carbon)...just try to make sure they aren't getting into the drinking water/ the pitcher.
