Black & Decker SDC740 Care and Cleaning, Treat Carafe With Care, Mineral Deposits And Clogging

•For a special occasion, whip some heavy cream with 1 or 2 tablespoons of hazelnut, chocolate or almond liqueur. Use to top off each cup of coffee.

•Add a 2-inch piece of vanilla bean to the sugar bowl to add a distinctive flavor to your coffee. You’ll be surprised at how good it tastes.

•Keep your coffeemaker very clean; you’ll be pleased with the flavor.

•For iced coffee, brew the coffee with twice the normal amount of grounds, as ice dilutes the coffee flavor. You may also make coffee ice cubes from left over coffee and brew your coffee at its normal strength.

•Remember when pouring hot liquid into a glass, always put a spoon in the glass before adding the hot liquid.

•Rinse both the carafe and the brew basket with warm water immediately after each use to maintain good coffee flavor.

•Brew basket and carafe are top-rack dishwasher-safe; or they may be hand washed in warm, sudsy water.

•Wipe the exterior and “Keep Hot” carafe plate with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

TREAT CARAFE WITH CARE

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” carafe plate or heat the carafe when empty.

•Discard the carafe if damaged in any manner. A chip or crack could result in breakage.

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

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

•Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.

MINERAL DEPOSITS AND CLOGGING

Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Excessive steaming and/or a prolonged brewing cycle are signs that cleaning is needed. The frequency of cleaning out deposits is affected by the regularity of usage and water hardness. During cleaning, more steaming occurs than when brewing coffee and may emit spurts of steam. Cleaning is recommended every 60 brewing cycles.

1.Fill carafe with white vinegar up to 6-cup water line. Add water up to 8-cup line. Remove the water reservoir and fill with vinegar mixture. Replace reservoir.
