CLEANING WITH VINEGAR
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning is
recommended once a month.
1. Pour white vinegar into the water reservoir up to the 6-cup line on the water
window. Add cold water up to the 10-cup line.
2. Put a paper filter in the filter basket and close the cover. Set the empty carafe
on the "Keep Hot" carafe plate.
3. Turn on the coffeemaker and let half the cleaning solution brew into the
carafe (until water level goes down to around "5"). Turn off the coffeemaker
and let it soak for at least 5 minutes to soften the deposits.
4. Turn on the coffeemaker and brew the remaining cleaning solution into the
carafe.
5. Turn off the coffeemaker; empty the carafe and discard the soiled filter.
6. Fill the reservoir with cold water to the 2-cup line, replace the empty carafe,
then turn on the coffeemaker for a complete brew cycle to flush out the
remaining cleaning solution. You may have to repeat this to eliminate the
vinegar smell/taste.
7. Wash the filter basket and carafe as instructed in CLEANING.
