Routine Cleaning
The decanter and brew basket should be rinsed after each use. NOTE: The decanter,
decanter lid, and brew basket are top-rack dishwasher safe ONLY. The outside of
the coffeemaker, including the area above the brew basket, can be wiped with a damp
cloth. Do not immerse the coffeemaker.
In addition, your coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive
steaming or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a
buildup of lime and mineral deposits from your water. It is recommended that you clean
your coffeemaker once a month. To clean your Mr. Coffee® Speedbrew™ coffeemaker
follow the steps listed below.
1.
Place a paper filter into the brew basket.
2.
Place the decanter onto the Warmer.
3.
Pour one full pitcher of undiluted white household vinegar into the Water
Reservoir. NOTE: Do not use any other cleaning products in your
Speedbrew™ coffeemaker. Hot water will flow into the decanter (Do not turn on
the Warmer Plate Switch. The Reservoir Power Switch should remain ON).
4.
Let the unit sit for 2 hours. This will allow the vinegar to break down the lime and
mineral deposits.
5.
After 2 hours, empty the decanter and return to warmer plate.
6.
Pour a full pitcher of water into the Water Reservoir. (The water/vinegar mixture
will flow into the decanter.)
7.
Empty the decanter and repeat Step 5 and 6 an additional six (6) times. This will
ensure that all the vinegar will be flushed out of the internal tank.
8.
Remove the paper filter from the brew basket and discard.
9.
After cleaning, wait at least 15 minutes before brewing your next pot of coffee.
This will allow the water in the internal tank to heat to the proper brewing temperature.
Decanter Cleaning
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the decanter. Coffee can discolor
these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the decanter. To remove these
stains, follow these simple steps:
1. Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.
2. Let solution stand in decanter for about 20 minutes and then discard.
3. Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh
abrasive cleaners. These may cause scratches which can lead to breakage.
