Care and Cleaning

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

CLEANING

1.Be sure the coffeemaker is off and cooled. Open the cover, remove the filter basket (lift straight up) and discard the grounds. Clean as follows: filter basket, permanent filter, mug and mug lid are all top rack dishwasher- safe; or they may be hand washed in warm, sudsy water. The coffeemaker’s exterior, may be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. Never immerse the coffeemaker in water.

2. To clean inside of reservoir cover, open the

one-piece cover allowing it to rest in the open position. Pull

the showerhead down and wipe the surfaces with a clean damp cloth. After cleaning snap the showerhead back into place (D).

CLEANING WITH VINEGAR

Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning is recommended once a month. Excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle is a sign that a cleaning is needed.

1.Fill the mug about 1/3 full with white vinegar and then to the top with cold water and pour into the water reservoir.

2.Place the mug on the mug rest.

3.Press the showerhead and let the cleaning solution brew through until the unit shuts off automatically.

4.Repeat the process using a new solution; do not reuse the first solution.

5.Use the mug to fill the reservoir with cold water and brew the plain water through to flush out any remaining solution. You may have to repeat the plain water cycle to remove any remaining vinegar taste.

6.Wash and dry the permanent filter, filter basket, lid and mug as instructed in

CLEANING.
