Cleaning Instructions
Your coffee brewer 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. If the pumping action
stops before all the water has been pumped out of the machine, then the
appliance requires cleaning.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The following
table gives the suggested cleaning intervals. Please clean your coffee brewer
every month.
Suggested Cleaning Interval
Type of Water Cleaning Frequency
Soft Water Every 80 brew cycles
Hard Water Every 40 brew cycles
1. Place one cup of undiluted white household vinegar and one cup of tap water
into the cup. Pour the water/vinegar mixture into the water reservoir.
2. Place the cup on the rubber base and press the ON switch.
3. Let all the water/vinegar mixture flow through then discard the mixture.
4.
To flush out all traces of vinegar, pour a mug full of tap water into the water
reservoir and press ON switch.
5. Discard water and repeat steps 4 and 5.
