Mineral Deposits and Clogging
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning is recommended
every 3 months. Excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle is a sign that a cleaning
is needed. The frequency of flushing out deposits is affected by your usage and water
hardness. During cleaning, more steaming occurs than when brewing coffee and may emit
spurts of steam.
1. Pour white vinegar into water reservoir up to 4-cup level on water level window.
Add water up to 8-cup line.
2. Put a basket style paper filter in the brew basket and close the one piece water
reservoir and brew basket lid. Set empty thermal carafe with the tightened lid in the
coffeemaker carafe plate.
3. Turn on coffeemaker and let half the cleaning solution brew into carafe (till water level
goes down to around "4"). Turn off coffeemaker and let it soak for at least 15 minutes
to soften the deposits.
4. Turn on coffeemaker and brew remaining cleaning solution into carafe.
5. Turn off coffeemaker, empty carafe and discard soiled paper.
6. Fill reservoir with water to 8-cup line, replace empty carafe, then turn on coffeemaker
for a complete brew cycle to flush out remaining cleaning solution. You may have to
repeat this to eliminate the vinegar smell/taste.
7. Wash the brew basket and carafe as instructed in "CLEANING."
