Minerals (calcium/limestone) found in water will leave deposits in your
coffeemaker and will affect it. It’s recommended that you regularly
remove these deposits by using white household vinegar.
For Switch Models (7982-33/7983-33):
1. Pour four cups (32 fluid ounces) of undiluted white household vinegar
into the water reservoir.
2. Place an empty 10-12 cup basket-style paper filter or permanent filter
into the filter basket and close.
3. Place the empty decanter back in the unit, centered on the warmer
plate.
4. Brew three cups of vinegar through the coffeemaker.
5. Turn the coffeemaker off and let stand for 30 minutes.
6. Run the remainder of the vinegar through the coffeemaker.
7. Discard the vinegar and rinse the decanter thoroughly with clean
water
8. Fill the water reservoir with clean, fresh water.
9. Place the empty decanter back on the coffeemaker, centered on the
warmer plate.
10.Remove and discard the filter used during the cleaning cycle and
replace it with a fresh 10-12 cup basket-style paper filter. If a perma-
nent filter was used during cleaning, remove it and rinse it thoroughly
before replacing it in the filter basket.
