CLEANING

sudsy water. Avoid placing thermal carafe in dishwasher. See below for thermal carafe

the coffeemaker in water.

spreader back into place.

water (F).

heated oven, or in a microwave oven.
F

Mineral Deposits and Clogging
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning is recommended
every 3 months. Excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle is a sign that a cleaning
is needed. The frequency of flushing out deposits is affected by your usage and water
hardness. During cleaning, more steaming occurs than when brewing coffee and may emit
spurts of steam.
1. Pour white vinegar into water reservoir up to 4-cup line on water level indicator.
Add water up to 8-cup line.
2. Put a basket style paper filter in the removable brew basket and close the one piece
cover. Set empty thermal carafe with the tightened brew-thru lid in the coffeemaker
carafe plate.
3. Turn on coffeemaker and let half the cleaning solution brew into carafe (until water
level goes down to around "4"). Turn off coffeemaker and let it soak for at least
15 minutes to soften the deposits.
4. Turn on coffeemaker and brew remaining cleaning solution into carafe.
5. Turn off coffeemaker, empty carafe and discard soiled paper.
6. Fill reservoir with water to 8-cup line, replace empty carafe, then turn on coffeemaker
for a complete brew cycle to flush out remaining cleaning solution. You may have to
repeat this to eliminate the vinegar smell/taste.
7. Wash the brew basket and carafe as instructed in "CLEANING."
