CLEANING THE COFFEE BEAN CHUTE
NOTE - Always turn co eemaker o and remove the plug
from the electrical outlet before cleaning unit.
We suggest cleaning the Co ee Bean Chute every 1 to 2 weeks, depending on frequency of use.
To clean the Chute, use the back end of the
brush handle and insert in the Lock/Turn button.
Turn to the position and lift up the Chute
Cover. See Fig. 6.
Use the brush to brush any ground co ee that
remains down into the lowest part of chute. Be
sure to have a lter in place. Co ee grinds will
go into lter.
Close Chute Door and turn button back to
position.
NOTE - Failing to properly clean the co ee chute may lead
to grind accumulations, which can result in weak-tasting co ee.
CLEANING THE COFFEEMAKER AND CHANGING THE WATER FILTER
After every 70 cycles, or carafes of co ee, a Clean Filter
panel display to tell the user it is time to clean the inside of the co eemaker of all mineral buildup,
and to change the charcoal water lter. See Fig. 7
Mineral deposits left by hard
water can clog your co eemaker.
Cleaning is recommended about
every 70 uses, when the co ee-
maker's reminder lets you know
you have reached this point.
