Type of Water
Cleaning Frequency
Soft Water
Every 80 Brew Cycles
Hard Water

Water Filtration Disk Replacement:
Your water filtration disk will need to be replaced once a month (approx. 30 brew cycles).
If the machine will not be in use for an extended period of time, rinse the water filter with
running water and clean the coffeemaker before use.
Cleaning the Decanter:
Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter, and coffee may then turn this
stain brown.
To remove decanter stains:
1.
Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts water and vinegar and let the solution
stand in the decanter for approximately 20 minutes.
2.
Discard the solution, then wash and rinse the decanter.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners that may scratch the decanter, scratches may cause the
decanter to break.
NOTE: Do not place thermal carafe in the dishwasher.
