Filter Basket, Carafe, and Lid are all top rack dishwasher-safe; or they may be hand washed

in hot, sudsy water.

The Coffeemaker’s exterior, Control Panel area and “Keeps Hot” plate may be cleaned with a soft damp cloth or sponge. Do not

use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. Never immerse the Coffeemaker in water.

2. To clean inside the Reservoir Cover, pull the Water Spreader down (B), wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth, and snap the Water Spreader back into place.

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 “Keeps 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.

NOTE: TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT OR ADDITIONAL CARAFE, CALL 1-800-258-6003.

MINERAL DEPOSITS AND CLOGGING

Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your Coffeemaker. Excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle are signs 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 there may be some spitting.

1.Pour white vinegar into the Water Reservoir up to the 4-cup level on the Water Window. Add cold water up to the 10-cup mark.

2.Put a paper filter in the Filter Basket and close the Cover. Set the empty Carafe on the “Keeps Hot” Plate.
