CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Daily

Always unplug coffeemaker and allow to cool before cleaning. Wash filter basket in hot, soapy water. The carafe and lid can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly. Not recommended for use in dishwasher.

Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker.

Never immerse base unit in water or other liquid. To clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing. Wipe resting plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the resting plate. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.

Monthly

Minerals found in water can clog coffeemaker or reduce its efficiency. To prevent this, fill thermal carafe with 2 cups vinegar. Add cold water to top. Pour water/vinegar mixture into reservoir opening. Place empty thermal carafe (with lid securely closed) on platform and press “ON” button. After water/vinegar mixture has been cycled through, press “OFF” button. Rinse by cycling through 2 or 3 more carafes of plain cold tap water. Do not pour any liquid other than cold tap water or water/vinegar mixture into reservoir opening when cleaning.
