BREWING PAUSE N SERVE

Our Brewing Pause ‘n Serve feature allows you up to 30 seconds to pour a cup while the coffee is still brewing. It also prevents any remaining coffee in the brew basket from dripping onto the warming plate once brew cycle is complete.

Warning: To prevent injury from hot overflow, replace decanter within 30 seconds if removed during brewing. If the decanter is not replaced within 30 seconds, the filter basket will fill with water and overflow.

CLEANING

Your Coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive steaming or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a build-up of lime and mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the machine, the appliance requires cleaning.

The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The following table gives a suggested cleaning schedule.

SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVAL

Cleaning Frequency

Soft Water

Every 80 Brew Cycles

Hard Water

Every 40 Brew Cycles

Your Coffeemaker may be cleaned by using MR. COFFEE® Cleaner or vinegar. MR. COFFEE® Cleaner is available at many retail stores or by calling the Sunbeam Consumer Service Department at 1-800-MR COFFEE (1-800-672-6333).
