4. Grasp the back of the coffee maker and tip the unit forward

over a sink at a 45 degree angle until the water begins to flow

out of the Shower Head.

5. Slowly top the coffee maker to a 90 degree angle, hold until

the flow of water stops.

NOTE: To ensure that your coffee maker will function properly

in the future do not tip the coffee maker beyond 90˚.The small

amount of water remaining in the coffee maker following this

procedure will evaporate in a few days time.

Care and Cleaning

The Carafe, Carafe Lid and the Removable Filter should be rinsed

with water after each use.

Top rack dishwasher safe parts: the Carafe and Lid, the

Removable Filter and the Swing-Out Filter Holder.

A small amount of dishwashing liquid and water will remove most

fingerprints, grease, dirt and grime.

Occasionally, window cleaners, vinegar and water solutions,

standard non-abrasive kitchen cleaning fluids, or commercially

available cleaning products for stainless steel surfaces can be

used. After cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to dry and buff the

surface to a brilliant shine.

Descaling

We recommend that you descale your coffee maker once a month

because mineral deposits can form a coating in the coffee maker,

causing slower brewing time and possibly an off flavor in the

coffee. Use a cleaner recommended for coffee makers or the

solution described below.To descale your unit:

1. Turn the Power Switch to “Off”. Unplug the coffee maker

power cord from the power outlet.

2. Place the Swing-Out Filter Holder in position on the coffee

maker.

3. Place the Carafe on the Warming Plate.

4. Slowly pour 1 quart (32 fluid ounces) of undiluted white

household vinegar into the top of the coffee maker.
