Coffeemaker Cleaning

Your coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin
to notice excessive steaming or the brewing time increases considerably.
This condition is caused by a buildup of lime and mineral deposits from your
water. If the pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped
out of the machine, then the appliance requires cleaning. The frequency of
cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The following table gives
the suggested cleaning intervals.
Suggested Cleaning Interval
Type Of Water Cleaning Frequency
Soft Water Every 80 Brew Cycles
Hard Water Every 40 Brew Cycles
1. Pour one quart of undiluted white household vinegar into your coffeemaker.
2. Place a paper filter into the filter basket and insert the filter basket into
place. Close reservoir lid completely.
3. Place the empty decanter on the warming plate and turn the coffeemaker
ON. When 3 cups have flowed through, turn the coffeemaker OFF and let
stand for a 1 ⁄ 2 hour.
4. After 1 ⁄ 2 hour, pour the vinegar back into the coffeemaker.
5. Place the empty decanter on the warming plate. Turn the coffeemaker ON
and let all of the vinegar flow through.
6. Discard the vinegar and paper filter.
7. To flush out all traces of the vinegar, pour a decanter full of tap water into
the coffeemaker, turn it ON, and allow it all to cycle through.
8. Discard the water and turn the coffeemaker OFF. Repeat Steps 7 and 8.
