Care and Cleaning (Cont.)
Always make sure Coffee Maker is unplugged and Warming Plate is
cool before attempting to clean. After daily use, the Carafe should be
washed in hot, sudsy water. Wipe exterior with a damp cloth to
remove superficial stains. For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic
pad with a non-abrasive cleanser. Do not use metal scouring pads or
abrasive cleansers.
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 unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the following
cleaning procedure should be performed every two weeks, since
minerals in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee and
possibly lengthen brew time.
1. Fill Carafe with one part white vinegar to three parts cold water.
Pour water and vinegar solution into the Water Chamber.
2. Place the Permanet Filter in the Swing-Out Filter Holder and
swing to closed position. Place Carafe on Warming Plate. Switch
Power Select Button to ON (I). During cleaning, more steam will
occur than during normal brewing.
3. KEEP THE COFFEE MAKER ON UNTIL CARAFE IS HALF
FULL. Switch Power Select Button to OFF (O). When liquid stops
dripping from Filter Holder into the Carafe, remove the Carafe
and allow liquid to cool in the Carafe for 10 minutes. When
cooled, pour liquid back into the Water Chamber.
4. Return Carafe to Warming Plate.
5. Switch Power Select Button to ON (I). Repeat procedure,
allowing all the cleaning solution to empty into the Carafe. After
dripping has stopped, discard contents of Carafe.
6. After allowing Coffee Maker to cool for 10 minutes, rinse it out by
brewing a Carafe full of cold water.
7. At end of brew cycle, switch Power Select Button to OFF (O).
Discard water in the Carafe. Wash Carafe, Carafe Lid and
Permanent Filter Basket in hot sudsy water. Dry parts.
8. When Coffee Maker has cooled, wipe exterior with a dry cloth.
