Using Vinegar:
1. Pour 1 quart of undiluted white household vinegar into the water reservoir.

of vinegar has pumped into the pitcher, unplug the appliance and allow it

and repeat Steps 1 through 4 (no vinegar). Turn the machine ON to rinse
out all traces of vinegar.

Pitcher Cleaning
Hard water can leave whitish mineral deposits inside the pitcher.
Tea and coffee discolor these deposits. To remove, fill the pitcher with
hot white vinegar and let soak for about 20 minutes. Do not use harsh
abrasive cleaners. They will cause scratches which can lead to breakage.
Helpful Hints
Fresh tap water should be used in the machine at all times.
DO NOT USE HOT WATER.
Use only genuine MR. C FFEE
for best brewing performance.
Avoid using chemically softened water whenever possible. The use of
chemically softened water can inhibit proper filtration. This will affect the
beverage flavor and will cause a long drip time from the steeping basket.
