CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Always turn coffeemaker OFF and remove
the plug from the electrical outlet before
cleaning.
Lift up the reservoir cover. Remove and
discard the paper filter and ground coffee.
The filter basket can be washed in warm,
soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or
cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher.
Dry all parts after use.
Do not put any water in the unit once the
filter basket has been removed. Wipe the
area under the filter basket with a damp
cloth.
Remove the carafe from the resting plate.
Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe
and lid can be washed in warm, soapy water
and rinsed thoroughly, or placed in a
dishwasher. The carafe and carafe lid should
be placed on the upper rack only.
Do not use any 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.
Fingerprints and other blemishes on the
metal housing can be washed off with soap
and water or a nonabrasive cleaning
solution. Wipe resting plate with a clean,
damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive
materials or cleansers to clean the resting
plate. Do not dry the inside of the water
reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.
DECALCIFICATION
Decalcification refers to the removal of
calcium deposits which form over time on
the metal parts of the coffeemaker.
For best performance from your Brew
Central Thermal
TM
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. The flashing Clean light will
indicate when you should clean your
coffeemaker.
If the Clean light begins to flash when the
coffeemaker is turned on, it is telling you that
the calcium buildup is interfering with the
functioning of your coffeemaker and the
flavour of your coffee. To clean, fill the water
reservoir to capacity with a mixture of ¹/
³
white vinegar and
2
/
3
water. Press the Clean
button. When the self clean light glows, turn
the coffeemaker on by pressing the on/off
button. The Clean light will shine steadily.
The coffeemaker is now in Clean mode. One
cycle should be sufficient to adequately
clean the coffeemaker. When the cycle is
completed and the five beeps sound, the
coffeemaker will shut off. Turn the
coffeemaker ON to see if the Clean light
continues to flash.
If it does, turn it to OFF and then repeat the
cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of
vinegar and water. If the Clean light no
longer flashes, turn the coffeemaker to OFF
and then run one cycle of fresh cold water
through the unit before using the unit again
to brew coffee.
Notes on the Clean Function
Pressing the Clean button cancels all other
settings. If it is pressed accidentally, press it
again to return the coffeemaker to all its
previous settings. Pressing ON/OFF will also
exit the Clean Mode and turn the
coffeemaker OFF.
