CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, do not immerse coffeemaker base, its cord or plug in
water or other liquid.
If coffeemaker is turned upside down when cleaning, use caution as hot water may flow from the reservoir or
spreader area.
• Dishwasher Cleaning
The carafe, cover and basket can be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher, TOP RACK ONLY. To prevent
scratching, place pieces into dishwasher rack so they do not touch one another or other objects being cleaned.
• Special Cleaning of Carafe
Normal washing of carafe by hand or in a dishwasher will remove most coffee stains. However, if stubborn stains
form, remove by scouring with a damp soft cloth and Bon Ami® non-abrasive cleanser to prevent scratching. After
cleaning, wash in hot soapy water, rinse and dry.
Never use nylon or metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on carafe as scratching can occur which can
cause glass to break.
• Special Cleaning of Coffeemaker To Remove Mineral Deposits
Minerals in water will naturally build up in the heating unit, pump and water spreader during use. These deposits
must be removed every 30 days (if coffeemaker is used daily) to prevent clogging of these parts which can affect
performance of coffeemaker. More frequent cleaning may be necessary if the water in your area is very hard.
Follow these steps for special cleaning of your coffeemaker.
1. Place correct shaped paper filter into coffee basket, then attach basket to coffeemaker.
2. Pour white distilled vinegar into carafe to the 3-cup level. Slowly pour vinegar into water reservoir. Place
covered carafe onto warming plate. Plug coffeemaker into outlet and turn ON. Allow vinegar to cycle into carafe.
Turn coffeemaker OFF and unplug cord from outlet. Pour vinegar back into water reservoir. Allow to cool 15 to 20
minutes. Repeat above procedure 4 to 5 times to thoroughly clean parts. If coffeemaker does not turn back on
between cleanings, allow to cool longer to reset the thermostat.
3. Discard vinegar after cleaning. Fill carafe with cold water to the 4-cup level and cycle through assembled
coffeemaker to rinse the parts.
4. Turn coffeemaker OFF, unplug cord from outlet and allow to cool. Wash carafe, cover and basket in hot soapy
water, rinse and dry. Wipe outside of coffeemaker with a damp cloth and dry.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, do not immerse coffeemaker base, its cord or plug in
water or other liquid.
Exercise caution if coffeemaker base is turned upside down when wiping as hot water may flow from the reservoir
or spreader area.
