3. Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers, they will scratch and weaken the glass.
4. Do not place the carafe on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in a heated oven, or in a
microwave oven.

MINERAL DEPOSITS AND CLOGGING
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Excessive steaming or a prolonged
brewing cycle, are signs that a cleaning is required. The need to wash out mineral buildup is
determined by your usage frequency and water hardness in your area. During cleaning, more
steaming occurs than when brewing coffee and there may be some splashing of liquid:
1. Pour white vinegar into the water reservoir up to the 4-cup level, add fresh water up to the
8-cup line, and close the lid.
2. Swing the filter basket closed and be sure it latches. Set the empty carafe on the "Keep Hot"
plate.
3. Turn the coffeemaker on and let the cleaning solution brew into the carafe.
4. Turn the coffeemaker off, mid cycle and let it soak for at least 15minutes to soften the deposits.
5. Turn the coffeemaker on again and brew the remaining cleaning solution into the carafe.
6. Turn the coffeemaker off and discard the cleaning solution.
7. Fill the reservoir with cold water to the 10-cup line, replace the empty carafe and then turn on
the coffeemaker for a completed brew cycle to flush out the remaining cleaning solution.
8. Wash the filter basket and carafe as instructed in "Cleaning Your Coffeemaker".
