COFFEE MAKER CARE
Cleaning the Coffee Maker
1. Remove the brew basket and carafe
from the coffee maker.
2. Wash the brew basket and Gold Tone
permanent filter in hot, soapy water and
rinse with hot water. Do not use abrasive
cleansers or scouring pads. These parts
can also be washed in the upper rack of
a dishwasher.
3. Unplug the coffee maker and wipe the
housing with a warm, soapy cloth. Then
wipe clean with damp cloth and dry with
a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleansers or scouring pads.
Descaling the Coffee Maker
The coffee maker can be descaled using a
packaged descaling agent or vinegar.
Always mix the descaling solution using
cool water.
When using a descaling agent, follow
the directions on the package for the
recommended amounts of descaling
agent and water to use.
When using vinegar, fill the carafe with a
solution consisting of ¹⁄₂ vinegar and
¹⁄₂ water.
Cleaning Needed Indicator
Calcium deposits (scale) from water will
build up in the coffee maker heat pump over
time and impair brewing efficiency and
coffee quality. When the coffee maker needs
to be cleaned, the “*Clean” indicator will
flash after a brewing cycle is complete.
Once this occurs, descaling should be done
as soon as possible to preserve the
performance and life of your coffee maker.
NOTE: You may want to clean your coffee
maker prior to the “Cleaning Needed”
indicator flashing under heavy use or hard
water conditions.
Clean
1. Before descaling, always remove the
water filter (see the “Installing the Water
Filter” section) and make sure the brew
basket contains no coffee or coffee
filters.
2. Run the coffee maker through a
complete Clean cycle using a full tank of
the descaling solution.
NOTE: If you do not complete the
programming steps within 10 seconds, the
settings will be maintained and the coffee
maker will exit to the default mode.
