Care and Cleaning

1. Always make sure Coffeemaker is unplugged and Base and Warming
Plate is cool before attempting to clean.
2. After daily use, the Removable Filter Basket, Carafe and Carafe
Lid should be washed in warm, soapy water.
3. If necessary, wipe the outside of the Coffeemaker with a soft,
damp cloth and wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleansers, scouring
pads or steel wool.
Descaling
Special cleaning of your Coffeemaker is recommended at least once a
month, depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in
the unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the following
cleaning procedure should be performed every 2 weeks, since minerals
in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly
lengthen brew time.
1. Fill the Carafe with 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts cold water.
Pour water and vinegar solution into the Water Chamber.
2. Place a paper filter in the Removable Filter Basket then close the
Lid. Place Carafe on Warming Base Plate. Press the Power Select
Button to ON.
NOTE: During cleaning, more steam will occur than during
normal brewing.
3. KEEP THE COFFEEMAKER ON UNTIL HALF THE WATER HAS CYCLED
THROUGH THE COFFEEMAKER, AS CAN BE VIEWED THROUGH THE
WATER LEVEL INDICATOR. Press the Power Select Button to OFF.
When liquid stops dripping from the Removable Filter Basket into
the Carafe, remove the Carafe and allow the liquid to cool for 10
minutes. When cooled, pour liquid back into the Water Chamber.
4. Return Carafe to Warming Base Plate.
5. Switch control to ON. Repeat procedure, allowing all the cleaning
solution to empty into the Carafe. After dripping has stopped, dis-
card contents in Carafe.
6. After allowing the Coffeemaker to cool for 10 minutes, rinse it out
by brewing a Carafe full of cold water. Make sure to insert a fresh
filter into the Removable Filter Basket before brewing.
7. At the end of the brew cycle, press the Power Select Button to
OFF. Discard water in the Carafe. Remove used filter and wash the
Carafe, Carafe Lid and Removable Filter Basket in warm, soapy
water. Rinse well and dry.
8. When the Coffeemaker has cooled, wipe exterior with a
dry cloth.
