•Make sure coffee maker is turned off (Red light is off). Always unplug the appliance from the outlet before cleaning.

•Drip-stop in filter holder: make sure that the drip-stop is free of any coffee particles, otherwise it might not close properly when removing the carafe.

•Rinse the filter holder thoroughly with fresh water.

•Fill 20 to 24 oz. of fresh cold water into the water tank and brew through machine to remove any vinegar odors.
