Instructions
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable
parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly
must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.
Care and Cleaning
Coffee is naturally oily. A build up of coffee oils on the Coffee Maker will
adversely affect the taste of new pots of coffee. For best results, completely
clean and dry all removable parts after every use.
When cleaning your Coffee Maker, please observe the following precautions:
•Make sure the Coffee Maker is OFF. Unplug and allow the Coffee Maker
to cool completely before cleaning.
NEVER IMMERSE THE CORD, PLUG OR COFFEE MAKER IN
WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
•Do not use metal cleaning pads or abrasive cleaners.
Daily
Wash all removable parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. If
necessary, use a small brush, such as a toothbrush, to clean the Carafe Lid,
the bottom of the Filter Basket and around the Pause & Pour Switch.
Monthly
Mineral deposits from tap water can clog the Coffee Maker or reduce its
efficiency and adversely affect the taste of the coffee. For best coffee
brewing results, the Coffee Maker should be cleaned once a month with a
solution of vinegar and water. To remove mineral deposits from the
Coffee Maker, follow the descaling instructions described below:
1. Pour 1/2 cup of vinegar into the carafe. Add cold water up to
the Water Reservoir’s 4-cup mark. Pour the vinegar/water
mixture into the Water Reservoir.
2. Insert the Filter Basket. DO NOT USE COFFEE!
3. Make sure the Grind Level is set to “0” to turn the Blades OFF.
Consult the “Selecting the Grind Level” section of this Owner’s Manual
for detailed instructions.
4. Press the ON/OFF Button to begin the brew cycle.
5. When the brew cycle is finished, press the ON/OFF Button to turn the
Coffee Maker OFF. Carefully remove the Carafe and place on a heat
resistant surface.
6. Wait 15 minutes. Pour the same vinegar/water solution back into the
Water Reservoir. Replace the Carafe onto the Warming Plate.
HELPFUL HINT: The unit’s Clock automatically synchron-
izes to an atomic clock and the correct date, day and
