CLEANING YOUR SOHO
®
COFFEEMAKER
Care and Cleaning
Initial Use: Before using your new Soho
®
Coffeemaker for the first time, be sure to
thoroughly wash the glass carafe and filter basket in warm, soapy water. Rinse and
dry. Thoroughly rinse reusable filter in WARM WATER ONLY as soap residue can
leave a taste in your coffee. Wipe the exterior of unit with a damp cloth to remove
any dust or packing residue. Run one cycle through with just water. Follow directions
on page #4, leaving out coffee and using only water.
After Each Use
1. Before cleaning, make sure unit is turned off and is unplugged from the wall
outlet.
2. Remove filter basket and dispose of coffee grounds and disposable filter, if
used.
3. To clean carafe and filter basket, wash in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry. DO
NOT WASH PARTS IN DISHWASHER. When cleaning the carafe, do not use
abrasive materials as they may damage the carafe.
4. Thoroughly rinse reusable filter in warm water only.
5. When all parts are clean, return carafe and filter basket with reusable filter to the
appliance.
6. To clean exterior of unit, wipe with a damp cloth.
DO NOT SUBMERGE APPLIANCE IN WATER.
Extensive Cleaning
Extensive cleaning of your unit is recommended once a month. Mineral deposits can
build up over time in the water reservoir causing lengthy brew times and a decrease
in the flavor of your coffee.
1. To clean, open top coffeemaker lid and pour 1 pint white vinegar into the water
reservoir.
2. Place filter in filter basket – do not add coffee. Move shower head toward front
over the filter basket until shower head clicks into place and close lid. Push the
switch to “ON”. The BLUE light will illuminate.
3. Run white vinegar through one brewing cycle. Once brewing cycle is finished,
discard contents in carafe.
4. Remove carafe from the appliance and fill with 12 cups of cold water. Pour
water into the water reservoir and repeat the brewing cycle using a fresh
disposable filter or clean reusable filter. Do NOT add coffee; use only clear
water. Once brewing cycle is finished, switch unit to “OFF”, unplug from the wall
and discard contents in carafe.
5. Wash carafe and filter basket in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry. Rinse
reusable filter in warm water only. Replace in unit.
6. When the unit has cooled, clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Your unit is now
clean and ready to brew.
