Your Coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive steaming or the
brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a build-up of lime and
mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water has been
pumped out of the machine, the appliance requires cleaning.
1. Pour one quart of undiluted white household vinegar into your Coffeemaker.
2. Place a paper filter into the filter basket and close the filter basket.
3. Place the empty Thermal Carafe on the warming plate and turn the Coffeemaker ON.
When approximately three cups have flowed through, turn the Coffeemaker OFF
and let stand for 1/2 hour.
4. After 1/2 hour, pour the vinegar back into the Coffeemaker.
5. Place the empty Thermal Carafe on the warming plate. Turn the Coffeemaker ON
and let all of the vinegar flow through.
6. Discard the vinegar and the paper filter.
7. To flush out all traces of vinegar, fill the water reservoir full of tap water, turn
Coffeemaker ON, and allow it all to cycle through.
8. Discard the water and turn the Coffeemaker OFF. Repeat Steps 7 and 8.
