•Dishwasher safe (upper rack) are: Filter Holder, GoldTone Filter.

•Clean the GoldTone Filter after every use. Otherwise coffee oils will form and clog up the small filter openings. Old, hardened coffee oils can spoil the taste of your coffee.

•Clean the lid of the carafe under running water.

•Drip-stop in filter holder: make sure that the drip-stop is free of any coffee particles, otherwise it might not close properly when removing the carafe.

9.Cleaning the Stainless Steel Thermal Carafe

Never immerse carafe completely in hot water or any other liquid. Wipe outside with a non-abrasive wet cloth and dry. Fill inside with hot water and a mild detergent and scrub with a non-abrasive household brush. Rinse thoroughly. Do not place carafe in dishwasher.

10.Decalcifying

Decalcify at least every 6 months or when brewing ten cups takes more than 9 minutes.

Attention: Before decalcifying, remove the GoldTone filter and Charcoal filter from the machine.

10a. How to Decalcify with White Vinegar

•Remove GoldTone filter and Charcoal filter.

•Fill the water container with 20 to 24 oz. of white household vinegar.

•Place the empty carafe with the lid closed underneath the filter holder.

•Turn the machine on for 2 minutes.

•Turn machine off and let sit for 15 minutes.

•Turn machine on again and let the remaining vinegar pass through.

•When the red light turns off, remove the carafe, empty and rinse a few times with fresh cold water.

•Rinse the filter holder thoroughly with fresh water.

•Fill 20 to 24 oz. of fresh cold water into the water tank and brew through machine to remove any vinegar odors.

10b. Using other Decalcifying Agents Only use decalcifying agents suitable for drip coffee makers and follow the instructions which come with the agent. Attention: Decalcifying agents are acids and therefore must be handled properly. Please check the information on the packaging of the decalcifying agents before using.

11.Troubleshooting What to do if...

...Coffee drips from the filter, when the carafe is removed.

•Ground coffee sits in the drip stop and does not allow the drip stop to close properly. Immediately replace the carafe and wait until all the coffee has been filtered in the carafe. Now remove carafe and remove the filter holder. Clean filter holder under running water. Push the drip stop several times to remove coffee particles. Over the sink fill some water into the filter holder and check if the drip stop closes properly.

...Ground coffee is flowing over the GoldTone Filter.

•Coffee is ground too fine.

•Use less coffee the next time (chapter 5c).

•Use a paper filter (size 4) instead of the GoldTone Filter.
