Care and Cleaning (Cont.)

Always make sure Coffee Maker is unplugged and Warming Plate is cool before attempting to clean. After daily use, the Carafe should be washed in hot, sudsy water. Wipe exterior with a damp cloth to remove superficial stains. For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.

Descaling

Special cleaning of your Coffee Maker is recommended at least once a month, depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in the unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the following cleaning procedure should be performed every two weeks, since minerals in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time.

1.Fill Carafe with one part white vinegar to three parts cold water. Pour water and vinegar solution into the Water Chamber.

2.Place the Permanet Filter in the Swing-Out Filter Holder and swing to closed position. Place Carafe on Warming Plate. Switch Power Select Button to ON (I). During cleaning, more steam will occur than during normal brewing.

3.KEEP THE COFFEE MAKER ON UNTIL CARAFE IS HALF FULL. Switch Power Select Button to OFF (O). When liquid stops dripping from Filter Holder into the Carafe, remove the Carafe and allow liquid to cool in the Carafe for 10 minutes. When cooled, pour liquid back into the Water Chamber.

4.Return Carafe to Warming Plate.

5.Switch Power Select Button to ON (I). Repeat procedure, allowing all the cleaning solution to empty into the Carafe. After dripping has stopped, discard contents of Carafe.

6.After allowing Coffee Maker to cool for 10 minutes, rinse it out by brewing a Carafe full of cold water.

7.At end of brew cycle, switch Power Select Button to OFF (O). Discard water in the Carafe. Wash Carafe, Carafe Lid and Permanent Filter Basket in hot sudsy water. Dry parts.

8.When Coffee Maker has cooled, wipe exterior with a dry cloth.
