6. Cool the brewer by pouring a full decanter of fresh, cold water into the top of the
brewer. Place decanter on the base plate and close the lid. When water has stopped
flowing from the brewer, empty the decanter. Repeat this process and set the
decanter aside.
7. Grasp the back of the brewer and turn it upside down over a sink. Most of the water
in the tank will flow from the sprayhead tube opening. Some water may flow from the
area around the top lid. Continue tipping the brewer until the flow stops.
8. Pour a decanter of water into the top of the brewer. Place the decanter on the base
plate; close the lid and wait 3 minutes. Repeat this process with another decanter of
water. Water will flow out of the funnel after the second decanter has been poured in.
When flow from the funnel has stopped, empty the decanter and pour an additional
decanter of water into the brewer. Place the decanter on the base plate and close lid.
9. Replace the sprayhead and funnel. Pour additional decanters of fresh, cold water into
the brewer as needed until the water has no vinegar taste.
10. Place decanter on base plate and plug in the brewer. Allow the water in the tank to
reach brewing temperature before using (approximately 15 minutes).
THERMAL CARAFE ROUTINE CLEANING (BTX
model)
The carafe may be disassembled for cleaning. Rotate the lid
counterclockwise to remove. Occasionally, the FlavorGard
valve
should be removed and cleaned. Lift at the edge and pull up. After
rinsing, replace by aligning the tab on the FlavorGard valve with the
slot inside the carafe lid and press in place. Use of a mild, non-abrasive
detergent is recommended. Do not use a scrub pad or other abrasive cleaning device,
as this will scratch the stainless steel surface. The brew funnel and carafe are top-rack
dishwasher safe.
To remove coffee stains from inside the thermal carafe, place a paper filter in the funnel and
pour in one teaspoon of Cascade
powder dishwasher detergent into the paper filter. Slide
funnel onto the rails and open brewer lid. Pour one carafe of cold water into brewer. Position
carafe on base plate of brewer and close lid. When brewing cycle has stopped, remove the
brew funnel and discard the filter and detergent; rinse funnel thoroughly. Allow carafe to sit for
10-15 minutes. Using a long handled, soft bristled brush, clean inside of carafe as well as the
outer rim to remove any coffee stains or debris. Occasionally scrub the carafe pour lip and the
area around it, including the lid, with a mild detergent and warm water. Use a soft cloth and
scrub hard. When finished, pour out solution into sink and thoroughly rinse carafe and lid with
clean water.
While cleaning your brewer, don’t forget to check your glass decanter
handle. If loose, use a standard screwdriver to tighten.
