Small oil droplets on the surface of the brewed black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if dark roasted coffee is used. Heavy use may also cause many oil deposits, indicating a need to clean the Coffeemaker more frequently.

CLEANING YOUR COFFEEMAKER

CAUTION: Always make sure Coffeemaker is unplugged before attempting to clean it. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plug or unit in water or other liquids.

zThe outside of your Coffeemaker can be cleaned by wiping the surface with a damp, soft cloth.

IMPORTANT: Never immerse the Coffeemaker in water or other liquids.

zWhen cleaning the Carafe, DO NOT put your hands inside the Glass Carafe or insert anything into the glass chamber for the glass is fragile and may break. Clean your Glass Carafe by rinsing it with warm soapy water.

zThe Glass Carafe Lid and Removable Filter Basket may be washed with warm soapy water or placed in the top rack of the dishwasher. Do not place any other parts of the Coffeemaker in the dishwasher.

zRinse the Removable Filter Basket thoroughly after every use to insure trouble-free operation.

zDo not clean the inside of the Water Reservoir with a cloth as the cloth may have a lint residue that could clog the Coffeemaker.

zFor stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.

DECALCIFYING YOUR COFFEEMAKER

zCalcium deposits may build up in the Coffeemaker as a result of minerals commonly found in drinking water. The build-up is normal and may result in longer brewing times. This slow down can be eliminated by periodically decalcifying

the Coffeemaker. We recommend decalcifying your unit with Gevalia Cleancaf Cleaner & Descaler. Nontoxic, biodegradable and odorless Cleancaf is a quick and easy way to keep coffeemakers clean, fresh and odor free. Use bi-monthly to remove or prevent oil residue and mineral buildup. You can order Cleancaf by calling 1-800-GEVALIA (1-800-438-2542) or visiting us at www.gevalia.com.

zA solution of two tablespoons of white vinegar to one carafe of cold water may also be used to decalcify. Pour the solution into the Water Reservoir, and then close the Hinged Reservoir Lid. Place the Glass Carafe securely on the Warming Plate and allow the Coffeemaker to brew the vinegar solution. Once it has finished brewing, empty the Glass Carafe and rinse it out with cold water. Refill the Water Reservoir with cold water only and run another new cycle to remove any remaining residue.
