TREAT CARAFE WITH CARE
A damaged carafe may result in possible burns from a hot liquid. To avoid
breaking:
• Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from the carafe while on the "Keep Hot"
plate or heat the carafe when empty.
• Discard the carafe if damaged in any manner. A chip or crack could result in
breakage.
• Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers, they will scratch and weaken
the glass.
• Do not place the carafe on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in a heated
oven, or in a microwave oven.
• Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.

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 needed.
Cleaning is recommended every 3 months.

window. Add fresh water up to the 6-cup line, and close the reservoir lid.

"Keep Hot" plate.

Turn the coffeemaker off and let it soak for at least 15 minutes to soften the
deposits.
6. Turn the coffeemaker on and brew the remaining cleaning solution into the
carafe.
7. When the cleaning solution has finished brewing, discard the paper filter,
empty the carafe and rinse with clean water.
8. Refill the reservoir with cold water to the 10-cup line, replace the empty
carafe, put a paper filter in the brew basket, then turn on the coffeemaker and
run another brew cycle to flush out the remaining cleaning solution.
