Cleaning Maintenance, Brew Pause Feature

Brew Pause™ Feature

Our Brew Pause™ feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the basket to let you pour that first cup mid-brew. Be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot, because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle differs from coffee made at the end.

NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20 seconds may cause filter basket to overflow.

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY ALL PARTS AFTER EVERY USE

Always turn coffeemaker OFF and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

Open the reservoir lid*. Remove the grinder basket lid by using the recessed area on each side of the lid. Then remove grinder basket. Open filter basket door. Remove filter basket cover, filter basket and filter basket holder. The grinder basket, grinder basket lid, filter basket and filter basket cover can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after every use.

Do not put any water in the unit once the grinder basket has been removed. Wipe the area under the grinder basket with a damp cloth. If water gets into the grinder motor, the motor may become damaged and may malfunction. Once clean, reverse the above steps. Remove the carafe from the resting plate. Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and lid can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher.

The carafe and carafe lid should be placed on the upper rack only. Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker. Never immerse base unit in water or other liquid. To clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing.

Wipe heating plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or

cleansers to clean the heating plate. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.

*Note: Reservoir lid can also be removed for easy cleaning. Open the lid 60˚ and gently pull toward you. To replace, reverse steps.

Maintenance

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

DECALCIFICATION

Decalcification refers to removing the calcium deposits which form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker.

For best performance from your coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit from time to time. The frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the coffeemaker.

NOTE: Before decalcifying your coffeemaker, remember to remove the charcoal water filter from the water filter holder located in the water reservoir.

To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of ¹⁄³ white vinegar and

²⁄³ water. Turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the ON button. One cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean the coffeemaker. When the cycle is completed and five beeps sound, turn coffeemaker off. Repeat operation, this time using fresh cold water.
