Caring For Your Carafe

A damaged carafe may result in possible burns from a hot liquid. To avoid breaking:

Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from the carafe while on the “Keep Hot” plate or heat the carafe when empty.

Discard the carafe if chipped, cracked, or damaged in any manner.

Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers, they will scratch and weaken the glass.

Do not place the carafe on or near a gas or electric burner, in a heated oven, or in a microwave oven.

Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.

Mineral Deposits and Clogging

Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning is recommended every 3 months.

1.Pour white vinegar into the water reservoir up to the 6-cup level on the water window. Add cold water up to the 10-cup line.

2.Put a paper filter in the brew basket and close the cover. Set the empty carafe on the “Keep Hot” plate.

3.Turn on the coffeemaker and let half the cleaning solution brew into the carafe (till water level goes down to around “5”). Turn off the coffeemaker and let it soak for at least 15 minutes to soften the deposits.

4.Turn on the coffeemaker and brew the remaining cleaning solution into the carafe.

5.Turn off the coffeemaker; empty the carafe and discard the soiled filter.

6.Fill the reservoir with cold water to the 11-cup line, replace the empty carafe, then turn on the coffeemaker for a complete brew cycle to flush out the remaining cleaning solution. You may have to repeat this to eliminate the vinegar smell/taste.

7.Wash the brew basket and carafe as instructed in “Cleaning.”
