Care And Cleaning

Always make sure Coffeemaker is unplugged and in the OFF position and
Warming Plate is cool before attempting to clean. After daily use, the Filter
Basket and Glass Carafe should be washed in hot, sudsy water. Wipe exterior
with a damp cloth to remove superficial stains. For stubborn stains, use a
nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser, such as Bon Ami
& Hammer
Descaling
Special cleaning of your Coffeemaker is recommended at least once a
month, depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in the
unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the following cleaning
procedure should be performed every two weeks, since minerals in water
can detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time.
1. Fill Glass Carafe with one part white vinegar to three parts cold
water. Pour water and vinegar solution into the Water Chamber.
2. Place a paper filter or permanent filter in the Removable Filter Basket
and swing to closed position. Place Glass Carafe on Warming Plate.
Switch Power Select Button to ON. During cleaning, more steam will
occur than during normal brewing.
3. KEEP THE COFFEEMAKER ON UNTIL CARAFE IS HALF FULL.
Switch Power Select Button to OFF. When liquid stops dripping from
Filter Holder into the Glass Carafe, remove the Basket and Glass
Carafe and allow liquid to cool in the Glass Carafe for 10 minutes.
When cooled, pour liquid back into the Water Chamber.
4. Replace Basket and return Glass Carafe to hot plate.
5. Switch Power Select Button to ON. Repeat procedure, allowing all
the cleaning solution to empty into the Glass Carafe. After
dripping has stopped, discard contents of Glass Carafe.
6. After allowing Coffeemaker to cool for 10 minutes, rinse it out by
brewing a Glass Carafe full of cold water. Make sure to insert a
fresh Filter into the Filter Basket before brewing.
7. At end of brew cycle, switch Power Select Button to OFF. Discard
water in the Glass Carafe. Remove used filter and wash Glass Carafe
and Filter Basket in hot sudsy water. Dry parts.
