SPECIAL CARE FOR YOUR CARAFE
A damaged carafe may result in possible burns from hot liquid.
To avoid breaking the carafe:
• Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from carafe. Do not heat carafe when empty.
• Discard carafe if damaged in any manner. A chip or crack could result in breakage
or contaminate liquid contents with glass particles.
• Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers as they may scratch and weaken
the glass.
• Do not place carafe on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in a heated oven or in a
microwave oven.
• Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.
BEFORE YOU USE YOUR COFFEEMAKER
• Before preparing coffee in your new Sunbeam
®
coffeemaker for the first time,
thoroughly clean the carafe, carafe lid, removable filter basket, the permanent
filter and water chamber cover in hot, soapy water.
• Rinse and dry.
• Replace disassembled parts.
• Clean the inside of the coffeemaker by brewing two full carafes of tap water
(see ‘Brewing instructions’). Do not place coffee in filter basket for this initial cleaning.
Note: At the end of first cycle, turn coffeemaker off and wait ten minutes.
Brew second carafe of water.
CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR COFFEEMAKER
• Always make sure coffeemaker is unplugged and warming plate is cool before
attempting to clean.
• After daily use, filter basket and carafe should be washed in hot, soapy water.
• Wipe base with a damp cloth to remove superficial stains.
• For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser.
• Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
Special cleaning of your coffeemaker is recommended at least once a month,
depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in the unit. If water in your area
is especially hard, the following cleaning procedure should be performed every two weeks,
since minerals in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen
brew time.
1. Fill carafe with one part white vinegar to three parts cold water. Pour water and vinegar
solution into the water chamber.
