The coffee channel cover can be flipped back
for easy cleaning of the coffee chute. Push the
coffee channel cover tab away from you and lift
up. Use the brush to remove any ground coffee
that remains. Brush grounds toward you (when
facing the unit head-on) and pull the grind chute
lever toward you to send grounds through the
chute. Be sure the filter basket is in place to
catch the grounds.
NOTE: Failing to properly clean the coffee chute
may lead to grind accumulations which can
result in weak-tasting coffee.
Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers
on any part of the coffeemaker.
Never immerse base unit in water or other liquid.
To clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp
cloth and dry before storing. Wipe heating plate
with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough,
abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the
heating plate. Do not dry the inside of the water
reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.
DECALCIFICATION
Decalcification refers to removing the calcium
deposits which form over time on the metal
parts of the coffeemaker.
For best performance from your coffeemaker,
decalcify the base unit from time to time. The
frequency depends upon the hardness of your
tap water and how often you use the
coffeemaker.
To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity with
a mixture of
1
⁄
³
of white vinegar and
²⁄
³
water.
Press the Grind Off button, and turn the
coffeemaker on by pressing the On button. One
cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean
the coffeemaker. When the cycle is completed
and the five beeps sound, turn coffeemaker off.
Repeat operation, this time using fresh cold
water.
