not exceed 15 seconds. In the event the paused time exceeds 15 seconds, the

Cleaning & Maintenance
Caution: Be sure to unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down before cleaning.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or unit in water or
liquid. After each use, always make sure plug is first removed from wall outlet.
1. Clean all detachable parts after each use in hot, soapy water. Make sure the
drip-stop in the filter holder is free of any coffee particles; otherwise it might
not close properly when removing the carafe. Clean the GoldTone filter and
carafe after each use to ensure best tasting coffee every time.
2. Wipe the product's exterior surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove stains.
Never use scouring agents or harsh abrasive cleaners.
3. Water droplets may buildup in the area above the filter and drip onto the
product base during brewing. To control the dripping, wipe off the area with
a clean, dry cloth after each use of the product.
4. Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the heating platform. Never use abrasive
cleaner to clean the heating platform.
5. Dry all parts fully before placing back into the machine.
Decalcifying
To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, it is important to decalcify at
least every 2-4 months depending on local water hardness or when brewing 12
cups takes more than 15 minutes.
1. Before decalcifying, remove the GoldTone filter from the machine.
2. Dissolve 1 oz. (28 g) of Capresso Cleaning Solution (or other descaling agent)
with 32 oz. (1 L) of water and pour mixture into water tank.
3. Place the empty carafe with the lid closed underneath the filter holder.
4. Turn the machine on for 2 minutes.
5. Turn the machine off and let sit for 15 minutes.
6. Turn machine on again and let the remaining descaling solution pass through.
7. Turn the coffee maker off, remove the carafe, empty and rinse a few times
with fresh cold water.
8. Rinse the filter holder thoroughly with fresh water and replace.
9. Let the coffee maker cool down for a few minutes.
10. Fill the water tank with fresh cold water and brew through machine to fully rinse.
11. Turn off coffee maker and empty carafe.
12. Rinse by operating the appliance with fresh water 2-3 times after descaling.
Hints for Great Tasting Coffee
1. A clean coffee maker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regularly
clean the coffee maker as specified in the "Cleaning & Maintenance" section.
Always use fresh, cold water in the coffee maker.
2. Store unused ground coffee in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of
ground coffee, reseal it tightly or place into an airtight container. DO NOT
store ground coffee in the refrigerator or freezer.
3. For optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and grind them just before
brewing. Keep unused whole beans in an airtight container in a cool dry place.
4. DO NOT reuse ground coffee since this will greatly reduce the coffee's flavor.
Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavor immediately
after brewing.
