Automatic Pause N’ Serve - Drip Stop Valve
Our Pause N’ Serve feature allows up to 30 seconds to sample a cup while
the coffee is still brewing. It also prevents any remaining coffee in the brew
basket from dripping onto the warmer plate once brew cycle is complete.
Warning: To prevent injury from hot overflow, replace decanter
within 30 seconds if removed during brewing. If the decanter
is not replaced within 30 seconds, the filter basket will fill with
water & overflow.
Cleaning
Your coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive
steaming or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is
caused by a build-up of lime & mineral deposits from your water. If the
pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the
machine, the appliance requires cleaning.
The frequency of cleaning
depends on the hardness of
water used. The following table
gives a suggested cleaning
schedule.
Your coffeemaker may be cleaned by using Mr. Coffee Cleaner or vinegar.
Using Mr. Coffee Cleaner
Read caution statement on side panel of box before use.
1. For best results, follow the directions given on the cleaner packet.
Using Vinegar
1. Fill the decanter to the bottom of the silver band with undiluted white
household vinegar. Pour vinegar into coffeemaker.
2. Place a four-cup filter into the brew basket & close the swivel basket.
3. Place the empty decanter on the warming plate. Turn the coffeemaker
to “on”. When three cups have flowed through, turn the coffeemaker
to “off”. Let stand for 1/2 hour.
4. Pour vinegar back into the coffeemaker. Place the empty decanter on
the warming plate.
5. Turn coffeemaker to “on” & let all of the vinegar run to completion.
6. Discard the vinegar & paper filter.
7. To flush out all traces of vinegar, pour decanter full of tap water into
coffeemaker, turn switch to “on” (illuminated). Allow it to cycle through.
8. Discard water & turn coffeemaker off. Repeat steps 7-8.
Decanter
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the decanter. Coffee
& tea discolor these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the
decanter. To remove these stains, follow these easy steps.
1. Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar & hot water.
2. Let solution stand in decanter for about 20 minutes. Discard.
3. Wash & rinse decanter thoroughly using soft cloth. Do not use harsh
abrasive cleaners. These may cause scratches & can lead to breakage.
