CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Always remove the plug from the outlet and allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.
Do not immerse the coffee maker or base into water or any other liquid.

Clean all removable parts after each use.

The Ground Coffee Filter, Funnel and Scoop are dishwasher safe.

GROUND COFFEE FILTER

Clean with warm soapy water and use a soft cloth to dry.

CARAFE AND FUNNEL
Clean with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge.

INTERIOR
Use a sponge or non-metal brush to clean the inside of the coffee maker. Then wipe it dry with a soft cloth.

WARMING PLATE AND EXTERIOR
Use a damp cloth to clean the Warming Plate and exterior of the coffee maker. Then wipe it dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use harsh cleaning agents or metal brushes, in order to avoid scratching the stainless steel surface

DESCALING THE COFFEE MAKER

After using your coffee maker for a while, limescale will begin to build up inside the machine. It is important to descale your appliance every 2-3 months. If the machine is used daily, the descaling process should be done monthly.

Plug the appliance into a wall outlet.
Mix equal parts vinegar and water and pour it into the coffee maker.
Press the Start / Stop button to start the brewing process.
When the brewing process is complete, fill up the coffee maker with water and begin brewing again. This washes out any remaining vinegar.
If an odor of vinegar persists, run another cycle with water.
Use a soft sponge and baking soda to remove stains from the Carafe. If the stains remain, mix 1 cup water, 1 cup vinegar and ¼ cup of baking soda and allow it to sit in the Carafe overnight.

STORAGE

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
Make sure all parts are clean and dry.
Store in a clean and dry place.

CORD SAFETY

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance; and
2. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

ELECTRICAL POLARIZED PLUG

This unit has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, the plug is intended to be used by inserting it into the electrical outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit securely into the outlet, reverse the plug and re-insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician for assistance. Do not modify the plug in any way.
