CARE AND CLEANING

Storing the Coffee Maker

Since the coffee maker retains a small amount of water after brewing, never use it in environments where the temperature drops below freezing (32˚F or 0˚C).

If the coffee maker will not be used for a prolonged period, or if it will be stored at temperatures below freezing, empty all water from the unit. To empty, unplug the coffee maker, then remove the water guide cover, the water filter access cover, the water filter, and the brew basket. Hold the coffee maker over a sink, and repeatedly turn it upside down until all the water drains from the unit. Wipe the coffee maker dry, and store.

When the coffee maker is taken out of storage, run it through a complete brewing cycle without coffee. Use a full carafe of clean, cool water. This rinses the water reservoir, heat pump, and showerhead.

Cleaning the Optional

Gold Tone Permanent Filter

After several uses, clean the filter with a soft brush or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleansers or steel wool pads. The filter can also be washed in the top rack of a dishwasher.
