Cleaning Your Coffee Maker
CAUTION: Always make sure coffee maker is unplugged
before attempting to clean it. To protect against electric shock,
do not immerse cord, plug or unit in water or other liquid.
• 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.
•
Clean inside of carafe with a soft cloth and mild detergent
solution. Do not use harsh abrasives or scouring pads on carafe.
• Carafe lid and removable filter basket may be washed with warm,
soapy water or placed in the top rack of the dishwasher. Do not
place any other parts of the coffee maker (including the
permanent filter) in the dishwasher.
•
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.
•
For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a
non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive
cleansers.
• 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 slowdown of the brewing time. The
slowdown can be eliminated by periodically decalcifying the
coffee maker.
•
To decalcify, fill the carafe with cold water and 1/4 cup of white
vinegar. Pour the solution into the water reservoir, then close the
lid. Place the carafe on the carafe 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.
