CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
basic cleaning
thermal carafe cleaning
deep cleaning
Wash the brew funnel and glass carafe after each use – they’re top rack dishwasher safe.
If using a thermal carafe, hand wash the carafe and lid after each use. Every 2 to 4 weeks
remove the sprayhead and clean. Occasionally wipe the outside of your brewer, including the
area above the funnel, with a mild, non-citrus detergent and a damp cloth. While cleaning
your brewer, check the glass carafe handle and tighten with a standard screwdriver if it’s loose.
To disassemble the thermal carafe for cleaning, rotate lid counterclockwise to remove. Use a
mild, non-abrasive detergent to wash the lid thoroughly – paying particular attention to the
passage where the coffee brews through the lid. Do not use a scrub pad or other abrasive
cleaners, as this will scratch the stainless steel carafe.
To remove coffee stains from inside the thermal carafe, place a paper filter into the brew
funnel and pour two teaspoons of powder dishwasher detergent into the paper filter.
Slide brew funnel into funnel guides and open spin lid. Pour one carafe of cold water into
brewer. Position carafe on base plate of brewer and press the On/Off button. When cycle
is complete, remove brew funnel and discard the filter and detergent; rinse brew funnel
thoroughly. Let carafe cool for 10 – 15 minutes. Using a long-handled, soft-bristled brush,
clean the inside of carafe and the outer rim to remove any 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 solution into sink and
thoroughly rinse carafe and lid with clean water.
Deep clean your brewer at least every 3 months or if the digital display flashes between the
time and ‘CLE.’ The frequency of cleaning depends on the mineral content of your water (the
higher the mineral content, the more often you should deep clean).
1. Remove the sprayhead by turning with
your fingertips.
2. Check the sprayhead. If plugged with
mineral deposits or white flakes, use a
toothpick to remove. Clean the sprayhead
with a cloth and mild detergent. Rinse the
sprayhead with water.
3. Slide empty brew funnel into the funnel
guides under the sprayhead.
4. Open the spin lid on top of the brewer
and fill brewer with water to the 6-cup
(30 oz.) mark.
5. Add 2 cups (10 oz.) of white vinegar to
brewer, filling it to the 8-cup mark.
6. Close the spin lid.
7. Place empty carafe on the base plate
of brewer.
8. Press the On/Off button to cycle the
vinegar solution through the brewer.
9. Empty carafe at end of cycle.
10. Run 2 – 3 additional cycles with full carafes
of water to flush remaining vinegar
solution from the brewer.
11. Reinstall sprayhead.
