Automatic Pause ‘N Serve Drip Stop Valve
For your convenience, our Pause ‘N Serve feature allows you up to 30 SECONDS to sneak a cup while the coffee is still brewing. It also prevents any remaining coffee in the filter basket from dripping onto the warmer plate once the brew cycle is completed.
TO PREVENT INJURY FROM HOT OVERFLOW, REPLACE DECANTER WITHIN 30 SECONDS IF REMOVED DURING BREWING.
Cleaning Instructions
Your coffeemaker 
be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive steaming or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a buildup of lime and mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the machine, then the appliance requires cleaning.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The following table gives the suggested cleaning intervals.
1.Pour one quart of undiluted white household vinegar into your coffeemaker.
2.Place a #4 cone filter into the filter basket and close the filter basket.
3.Place the empty decanter on the warming plate and turn the coffeemaker ON. When three cups have flowed through, turn the coffeemaker OFF and let stand for l/2 hour.
4.After l/2 hour, pour the vinegar back into the coffeemaker.
5.Place the empty decanter on the warming plate. Turn the coffeemaker ON and let all of the vinegar flow through.
6.Discard the vinegar and the paper filter.
7.To flush out all traces of vinegar, pour a decanter full of tap water into the coff eemaker, turn it ON, and allow it all to cycle through.
6.Discard the water and turn the coffeemaker OFF. Repeat steps 7 and 6.
Decanter Cleaning
Hard water .can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the decanter. Coffee and tea discolor these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the decanter. To remove these stains, follow these simple steps:
1.Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.
2.Let solution stand in decanter for about 20 minutes and then discard.
3.Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners. These may cause scratches which can lead to breakage.
