SPECIAL CLEANING – EVERY TWO WEEKS
If coffeemaker is used daily, a special cleaning every 2 weeks, or every week if
it is used for heating water, is necessary to thoroughly clean the heating unit
well. If not kept clean, the coffeemaker will not work properly.
1. Fill the coffeemaker with 1 quart EACH of water and white distilled vinegar. (If
a white mineral buildup has formed on the inside of coffeemaker, use an
additional 2 cups of vinegar). Place the stem and empty basket in place and
lock the cover onto the coffeemaker. Plug cord into outlet and turn switch ON
for models 13500 and 33600. Allow the coffeemaker to complete the perking
cycle, then let stand for 20 minutes.
2. Turn OFF and unplug the cord from the outlet. Drain the coffeemaker and
allow it to cool. Wash the inside and the parts following the regular cleaning
instructions, making sure to thoroughly clean the heating unit well.
3. On occasion, clean the coffee level view tube on models 13500 and 33600 with
a soft brush. Unscrew the gauge cap and lift out the tube. Wash in warm,
soapy water with a brush and rinse. Replace the tube and secure with the
gauge cap.
4. To clean the faucet, unscrew the handle. Move a small brush up and down
through the faucet, then insert the brush through the opening on the inside of
the coffeemaker to clean the faucet connection. Wash the faucet handle in
warm, soapy water and rinse. Replace the faucet.
DO NOT USE BAKING SODA TO CLEAN THE COFFEEMAKER BECAUSE IT
CAN DISCOLOR AND PIT THE METAL.
