CLEANING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
1. CAUTION: Make sure your coffee maker is unplugged before
attempting to clean. To protect against electric shock, do not
immerse cord, plug or unit in water or other liquid.
2. The outside of your coffee maker can be cleaned by wiping the
surface with a damp, soft cloth. CAUTION: Never immerse the coffee
maker in water or other liquid.
3. Clean inside of coffee maker with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Do not use harsh abrasives or scouring pads on carafe, it will scratch
the surface.
4. Carafe lid, removable filter basket and water filter holder may be
washed with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not
place any parts of the coffee maker in the dishwasher.
5. To clean the permanent filter, empty the grounds and rinse thoroughly.
6. Do not clean the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth as the cloth
may have a lint residue that could clog the coffee maker.
7. For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive
cleanser (inside of coffee maker only). Do not use metal scouring
pads or abrasive cleansers.
Decalcification
8. Calcium deposits may build up in the coffee maker as a result of
minerals commonly found in drinking water. The build-up is normal
and may result in a slow down of the coffee maker’s brewing time.
The slow down can be eliminated by periodically decalcifying the
coffee maker. NOTE: Always remove the water filter and water filter
holder before decalcifying.
9. To decalcify, fill the carafe with cold water and two tablespoons of
white vinegar. Pour the solution into the water reservoir, and then
close the lid. Place the carafe on the plate and allow the
coffee maker to brew the vinegar solution. While decalcifying, do not
use a filter in the filter basket. When the vinegar solution has finished
brewing, empty the carafe and rinse it out with cold water. Refill the
water reservoir with cold water only and run another brew cycle to
remove any remaining vinegar solution. Repeat if necessary.
Water Filter
10. Change and discard the water filter after 70 brewing operations or
within a calendar month (which ever is sooner).
