Care And Cleaning
Always make sure Coffeemaker is unplugged and in the OFF position and
Warming Plate is cool before attempting to clean. After daily use, the Filter
Basket and Glass Carafe should be washed in hot, sudsy water. Wipe exterior
with a damp cloth to remove superficial stains. For stubborn stains, use a
nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser, such as Bon Ami
®
or Arm
& Hammer
®
. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
Descaling
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.

water. Pour water and vinegar solution into the Water Chamber.
2. Place a paper filter or permanent filter in the Removable Filter Basket
and swing to closed position. Place Glass Carafe on Warming Plate.
Switch Power Select Button to ON. During cleaning, more steam will
occur than during normal brewing.

Filter Holder into the Glass Carafe, remove the Basket and Glass
Carafe and allow liquid to cool in the Glass Carafe for 10 minutes.
When cooled, pour liquid back into the Water Chamber.

5. Switch Power Select Button to ON. Repeat procedure, allowing all
the cleaning solution to empty into the Glass Carafe. After
dripping has stopped, discard contents of Glass Carafe.

brewing a Glass Carafe full of cold water. Make sure to insert a
fresh Filter into the Filter Basket before brewing.
