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 a clean #4 paper filter in the Removable Cone Filter Basket. Replace Removable Cone Filter Basket in the Filter Basket Holder and close the Lid. Place Carafe on Warming Plate. Switch Power 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 Button to OFF (O). When liquid stops dripping from Filter Basket 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 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. Make sure to insert a clean #4 paper filter into the Removable Cone Filter Basket before brewing.

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

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