User Maintenance

Instructions

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.

Care and Cleaning

Coffee is naturally oily. A build up of coffee oils on the Coffee Maker will adversely affect the taste of new pots of coffee. For best results, completely clean and dry all removable parts after every use.

When cleaning your Coffee Maker, please observe the following precautions:

Make sure the Coffee Maker is OFF. Unplug and allow the Coffee Maker to cool completely before cleaning.

NEVER IMMERSE THE CORD, PLUG OR COFFEE MAKER IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.

Do not use metal cleaning pads or abrasive cleaners.

Daily

Wash all removable parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. If necessary, use a small brush, such as a toothbrush, to clean the Carafe Lid, the bottom of the Filter Basket and around the Pause & Pour Switch.

Monthly

Mineral deposits from tap water can clog the Coffee Maker or reduce its efficiency and adversely affect the taste of the coffee. For best coffee brewing results, the Coffee Maker should be cleaned once a month with a

solution of vinegar and water. To remove mineral deposits from the

 

Coffee Maker, follow the descaling instructions described below:
