7. Cleaning the Coffee Maker
• Make sure coffee maker is turned
off (Red light is off). Always unplug
the appliance from the outlet before
cleaning.
• Never use scouring agents.
• Never immerse the appliance in
water or any other liquid and never
clean under running water. To clean
the appliance, wipe off with a soft,
damp cloth.
• Dishwasher safe (upper rack) are:
Filter Holder, GoldTone Filter, Glass
Carafe.
• Clean the GoldTone Filter after
every use. Otherwise coffee oils will
form and clog up the small filter
openings. Old, hardened coffee oils
can spoil the taste of your coffee.
• Clean the lid of the carafe under
running water.
• Drip-stop in filter holder: make sure
that the drip-stop is free of any
coffee particles, otherwise it might
not close properly when removing
the carafe.
8. Decalcifying
Decalcify at least every 6 months or
when brewing ten cups takes more
than 9 minutes.
Attention: Before decalcifying,
remove the GoldTone filter and
Charcoal filter from the machine.
8a. How to Decalcify with White
Vinegar
• Remove GoldTone filter and
Charcoal filter.
• Fill the water container with 20 to
24 oz. of white household vinegar.
• Place the empty carafe with the lid
closed underneath the filter holder.
• Turn the machine on for 2 minutes.
• Turn machine off and let sit for 15
minutes.
• Turn machine on again and let the
remaining vinegar pass through.
• When the red light turns off, remove
the carafe, empty and rinse a few
times with fresh cold water.
• Rinse the filter holder thoroughly
with fresh water.
• Fill 20 to 24 oz. of fresh cold water
into the water tank and brew
through machine to remove any
vinegar odors.
8b. Using other Decalcifying Agents
Only use decalcifying agents suitable
for drip coffee makers and follow the
instructions which come with the agent.
Attention: Decalcifying agents are
acids and therefore must be handled
properly. Please check the information
on the packaging of the decalcifying
agents before using.
9. Troubleshooting
What to do if...
...Coffee drips from the filter, when
the carafe is removed.
• Ground coffee sits in the drip stop
and does not allow the drip stop to
close properly. Immediately replace
the carafe and wait until all the coffee
has been filtered in the carafe. Now
remove carafe and remove the filter
holder. Clean filter holder under
running water. Push the drip stop
