CLEANING

1.Be sure the unit is unplugged and cooled.

6.Pull water showerhead out from under the guide, wipe surfaces with a damp cloth, then place water spreader under guide and close the cover.

MAINTAINING YOUR COFFEEMAKER

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

USING VINEGAR

1.Pour white vinegar into water reservoir up to 2-cup level on water window.

2.Add cold water up to 5-cup line.

3.Place permanent filter into the filter basket holder and close the cover.

4.Set empty carafe on the "Keep Hot" plate.

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

15 minutes to soften the deposits.

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

7.Turn off coffeemaker, empty carafe and remove permanent filter.

8.Fill reservoir with cold water to 5-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.

9.Wash the brew basket and carafe as instructed in CLEANING.

CLEANING TIPS

Excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle is a sign that a cleaning is needed.

The frequency of flushing out deposits is determined by your usage and water hardness.

During cleaning, more steaming occurs than when brewing coffee and there may be some spitting.
