Cleaning Your Coffee Maker - Gevalia CM-22 Series Care And Use Instructions Manual

8. To re-set the Auto Brew time to the same pre-set time for the next day, simply press the
AUTO ON button. The green Indicator Light encircling the button will illuminate and the
word AUTO will again be displayed in the upper right hand corner of the LCD digital
clock/display.
PAUSE & SERVE
Allows you to interrupt the brewing cycle and pour a cup of coffee before the entire Carafe is
finished brewing.
CAUTION: While this will temporarily stop the coffee from dripping into the Carafe, it
does not stop the brewing cycle. After serving, the Carafe should be immediately returned
to the Warming Plate to prevent the Filter Basket from overflowing. Make sure the Carafe
and Filter Basket are positioned firmly against the back of the Coffee Maker.
NOTE: While the pause and serve is a convenient way to pour a cup of coffee mid-cycle, we
recommend you wait until the completion of the brew cycle as the strength and flavor of coffee
poured mid-cycle will vary from the finished brew.

CLEANING YOUR COFFEE MAKER

1. Always unplug the Coffee Maker and allow the unit to cool before cleaning.
2. Wash the Carafe/Carafe Lid and removable Filter Basket in hot, sudsy water. DO NOT place
any parts of your Coffee Maker in the dishwasher.
3. Never use harsh or abrasive cleansers on any part of your Coffee Maker. To clean, simply
wipe off with a soft, damp cloth. The Warming Plate may be wiped with a clean, damp cloth
when necessary. For hard to remove stains, use a plastic mesh pad or cloth dampened in
vinegar.
IMPORTANT: Never immerse the Warming Plate or main housing in water or any other
liquid. Do not try to clean the inside of the Water Reservoir with a cloth, as this will leave a
residue of lint and may clog your Coffee Maker. Just rinse with cold water periodically.
DECALCIFYING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
Calcium build-up frequently occurs in drip Coffee Makers. This build-up is normal and is
caused by minerals commonly found in drinking water. Periodically, your Coffee Maker will
need cleaning to remove calcium or mineral deposits that may form. You will know when
your unit will need decalcifying when you notice an obvious slow down in brewing time. We
recommend decalcifying your unit with Gevalia Cleancaf® Cleaner & Descaler or a solution
of white vinegar and cold water. Nontoxic, biodegradable and odorless Cleancaf® is a quick
and easy way to keep Coffee Makers clean, fresh and odor free. Use bi-monthly to remove or
prevent oil residue and mineral buildup. You can order Cleancaf® by calling 1-800-
GEVALIA (1-800-438-2542) or visiting us at www.gevalia.com.
