Cleaning Your Coffee Maker

1.CAUTION: Make sure your coffee maker is unplugged before attempting to clean. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plug or unit in water or other liquid.

2.The outside of your coffee maker can be cleaned by wiping the surface with a damp, soft cloth. CAUTION: Never immerse the coffee maker in water or other liquid.

3.Clean inside of coffee maker with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use harsh abrasives or scouring pads on carafe, it will scratch the surface.

4.Carafe lid, removable filter basket and water filter holder may be washed with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not place any parts of the coffee maker in the dishwasher.

5.To clean the permanent filter, empty the grounds and rinse thoroughly.

6.Do not clean the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth as the cloth may have a lint residue that could clog the coffee maker.

7.For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser (inside of coffee maker only). Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.

Decalcification

8.Calcium deposits may build up in the coffee maker as a result of minerals commonly found in drinking water. The build-up is normal and may result in a slow down of the coffee maker’s brewing time. The slow down can be eliminated by periodically decalcifying the coffee maker. NOTE: Always remove the water filter and water filter holder before decalcifying.

9.To decalcify, fill the carafe with cold water and two tablespoons of white vinegar. Pour the solution into the water reservoir, and then close the lid. Place the carafe on the plate and allow the

coffee maker to brew the vinegar solution. While decalcifying, do not use a filter in the filter basket. When the vinegar solution has finished brewing, empty the carafe and rinse it out with cold water. Refill the water reservoir with cold water only and run another brew cycle to remove any remaining vinegar solution. Repeat if necessary.

Water Filter

10.Change and discard the water filter after 70 brewing operations or within a calendar month (which ever is sooner).
