Cleaning The Coffee Maker; Cleaning The Inside Of The Stainless Steel Carafe; Decalcifying; Decalcifying With Durgol - Capresso 490 Operating Instructions Manual

7. Cleaning the Coffee Maker

1. Make sure the coffee maker is
turned off. Always unplug appli-
ance from outlet before cleaning.
2. Never use scoring agents.
3. Never immerse the appliance in
any liquid.
4. Never clean under running water.
5. To clean the outside wipe off with
a soft, damp cloth.
6. The cleaner "Goo Gone" can be
used to remove sticky deposits
from exterior stainless steel
surfaces only. Please follow the
directions on the bottle.
7. Only the filter holder and the
Goldtone Filter can go into the
dishwasher (upper rack).
8. Make sure the drip stop on the
bottom of the filter holder is free
of any coffee particles, otherwise
it might not close properly when
removing the carafe from the
machine.
9. Important: Before inserting the
filter holder back, wipe the inside
of the machine clean with a paper
towel
10. Clean the Goldtone Filter after
every use. Otherwise coffee oils
can clog up the small filter open-
ings. Old, hardened coffee oils
can spoil the taste of your coffee.
11. Clean the lid of the carafe with a
soft, damp cloth. Do not clean
under running water and do not
immerse in any liquid.
8. Cleaning the Inside of the
Stainless Steel Carafe
Over time coffee oils will darken the
inside of your carafe, especially if
coffee sits for a prolonged time in the
carafe.
• Special tablets such as our cleaning
tablet #62205 will remove any
coffee oils and make the inside look
like new.
• Add one tablet to the carafe, fill
carafe with warm water and let sit
over night. The next day the carafe
will be clean. Rinse thoroughly with
fresh water. Tablets are available at
your local retail store or with the
enclosed mail order form, or through
our website www.capresso.com

9. Decalcifying

As a guideline we recommend decal-
cifying at least every 6 months or
whenever the brewing process slows
down. If brewing ten cups of water
takes more than 10 minutes it is
definitely time to decalcify.
Attention:
• Before decalcifying, remove the
Goldtone Filter and the Charcoal
Filter from the machine.
• All decalcifying agents are acidic
and must be handled carefully.
Check the information on the pack-
aging before using.
Caution: Never open the Pop-up lid
as long as the machine processes
any liquid. Hot water could spill out
causing burns and injuries. Wait until
all water is processed through the
machine or until the On/Off button is
no longer illuminated.
9a. Decalcifying with DURGOL
Capresso recommends DURGOL for
drip coffee makers. Durgol removes
any calcium deposit up to 20 times
faster than vinegar. Durgol is available
through www.frieling.com.
1. Remove Goldtone Filter and
Charcoal Filter.
2. Fill water container with 18 oz. of
cold water and then add 6 oz.
Durgol.
3. Important: Make sure the filter
holder is in place and the Stainless
Steel Carafe is empty.
4. Insert the carafe into the machine.
5. Turn the machine on.
6. When the solution has run through,
remove the carafe, empty and rinse
thoroughly. Important: let the
machine cool down for 5 minutes.
