c.After 30 minutes, pour the vinegar from the decanter back into the coffeemaker reservoir and place the empty decanter back on the warming plate.
d.Turn the coffeemaker back on to let all of the vinegar flow through.
e.When the brew cycle is complete, turn the coffeemaker off and discard both the vinegar and the paper filter.
4.To flush out all traces of vinegar from the unit, brew 8 cups of water in the unit. Do not use coffee grounds but DO use a filter in the brew basket. Repeat the process as necessary.
CLEANINGTHE DECANTERS
Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter. Coffee and tea may then turn the stain brown.
TO REMOVE DECANTER STAINS:
1.Fill each decanter with a solution of equal parts tap water and vinegar and let the solution stand in the decanter for approximately 20 minutes.
2.Discard the solution and wash and rinse the decanter.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleansers that may scratch the decanter; scratches may cause the decanter to break.
