PREPARING
THE

Pre-Use Cleaning

Wash the filter basket, basket insert, carafes, and carafe lids in
hot, soapy water, then rinse with clean water and dry. Do not use
abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. These parts may also be
washed in the top rack of the dishwasher.

Installing the Water Filter

Since most tap water is chlorinated and contains some level of
calcium, the use of a PRO LINE™ Series Water Filter is
recommended. The advanced ion-exchange water filter reduces
chlorine and other contaminants which impair coffee flavor. The filter
also softens the water, which extends the time between descalings.
The PRO LINE™ Series Water Filter will filter approximately 25
gallons of water (60 full carafes). When a filter has reached
the end of its life, the water filter icon will appear on the
brew timer display.
Use of the water filter is optional: the coffee maker will operate
normally without it. If a water filter is not used, the filter icon will
still appear on the brew timer display as a reminder to descale the
coffee maker. To reset the icon after it appears, see page 23.
COFFEE MAKER
