Cleaning
Cleaning your coffee brewer will help the machine last longer, produce better coffee, and keep its attractive appearance. Cleaning regularly does not take much time. Follow these steps for daily and weekly cleaning. Cleaning brushes may be purchased from American Metal Ware or your restaurant equipment dealer. Do not use soap, scouring powders, or abrasive materials to clean your equipment. These will damage the stainless steel finish.

•Drain and rinse urn liner.
•Add some hot water to liner and brush liner interior. To add small amounts of hot water to liner, close cover and press start and stop switches to control amount.

Each Day
