its performance. It's recommended that you regularly remove these deposits using vinegar.

2. Place an empty 10-12 cup basket-style paper filter or permanent filter into the filter basket
and close the brew basket lid.
3. Place the empty decanter back in the unit, centered on the warming plate.
4. Run the coffeemaker.
5. Discard the vinegar and rinse the decanter thoroughly with clean water.
6. Fill the water reservoir with clean, fresh water.
7. Place the empty decanter back on the coffeemaker, centered on the warming plate.
8. Remove and discard the the paper filter used during the cleaning cycle.
If a permanent filter was used during cleaning, remove it and rinse it
thoroughly before replacing it in the filter basket.
9. Begin brewing and allow the full brew cycle to complete.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 one more time.
Your coffeemaker is now clean and ready to brew the next pot of
delicious, hot coffee!
