Descaling

Special cleaning of your Coffee Maker is recommended at least once a month, depending on frequency of use
and quality of water used in the Coffee Maker. If water in your area is especially hard, the following cleaning
procedure should be performed every 2 weeks, since minerals in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee
and possibly lengthen brew time.
1. Fill carafe with 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts cold water. Pour water and vinegar solution into the water
reservoir.
2. Brew the vinegar solution until the carafe is half full.
NOTE: During cleaning, more steam will occur than during normal coffee brewing.
3. Set the switch to OFF (O) position to turn the Coffee Maker OFF. When liquid stops dripping from filter
holder into the carafe, remove the carafe and allow liquid to cool for 15 minutes. When cooled, lift lid
and pour liquid back into the water reservoir.
4. Close the lid. Return carafe to the keep warm plate.
5. BREW THE VINEGAR SOLUTION again, allowing all the cleaning solution to empty into the carafe.
After dripping has stopped, discard contents of the carafe.
6. Allow Coffee Maker to cool for 15 minutes, run clean water through the coffee maker 3 times. Insert the
clean permanent coffee filter into the removable filter holder before brewing.
7. Set the switch to OFF (O) position to turn the Coffee Maker OFF. Discard water in the carafe. Wash carafe,
permanent coffee filter, and removable filter holder in hot sudsy water. Dry parts thoroughly.
