Care and Cleaning

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

CLEANING

1.Make sure the unit is off and cooled. Open the one-piece cover, remove the brew basket (lift straight up), and discard the paper filter/grounds. Clean as follows: removable brew basket is top rack dishwasher-safe or may be hand washed in warm, sudsy water. Avoid placing thermal carafe in dishwasher. See below for thermal carafe care. The coffeemaker’s exterior, control panel area and carafe plate 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 the one-piece cover, pull the water spreader down

(E), wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth, and snap the water spreader back into place.

E
	Thermal Carafe Care
	•	Thermal carafe should be cleaned by hand, using warm sudsy
		water (F).
	•	Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers.
	•	Do not place the carafe on or near a gas or electric burner, in a
F		heated oven, or in a microwave oven.
	•	Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.

To clean thermal carafe and brew-thru lid, unlock brew-thru lid by turning lid in open direction. After cleaning, replace brew-thru lid on thermal carafe and twist towards close direction until “Close” arrow is aligned with handle. Keep lid closed tightly to keep coffee warm.

Mineral Deposits and Clogging

Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning is recommended every 3 months. Excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle is a sign that a cleaning is needed. The frequency of flushing out deposits is affected by your usage and water hardness. During cleaning, more steaming occurs than when brewing coffee and may emit spurts of steam.

1.Pour white vinegar into water reservoir up to 4-cup line on water level indicator. Add water up to 8-cup line.

2.Put a basket style paper filter in the removable brew basket and close the one piece cover. Set empty thermal carafe with the tightened brew-thru lid in the coffeemaker carafe plate.

3.Turn on coffeemaker and let half the cleaning solution brew into carafe (until water level goes down to around "4"). Turn off coffeemaker and let it soak for at least

15 minutes to soften the deposits.

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

5.Turn off coffeemaker, empty carafe and discard soiled paper.

6.Fill reservoir with water to 8-cup line, replace empty carafe, then turn on coffeemaker for a complete brew cycle to flush out 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."
