CLEANING THE COFFEEMAKER
AND CHANGING THE CHARCOAL
FILTER
After every 70 cycles, or carafes of coffee, a reminder will appear in the control panel
display, change filter and clean along with three beeps, to tell the user it is time to clean
the inside of the coffeemaker of all mineral buildup, and to change the water filter.
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning is recommended
about every 70 uses, when the coffeemaker's
reminder lets you know you have reached
this point.
To Clean:
1. Press the Filter Reset button on the control
panel to stop the blinking words icon and
the beeps (Fig. 8).
2. Open the lid of reservoir, and pull out the
water filter. Do not clean coffeemaker
with
water filter in place (Fig. 9).
3. Pour white vinegar into water reservoir up
to about the 6-cup level shown inside reservoir.
4. Add cold water up to the 12-cup line.
5. Put a paper filter in the brew basket, close
cover, and place empty carafe on the
warming plate.
6. Turn ON the coffeemaker
and let half of the
vinegar water solution brew through and
into carafe.
7. Turn the coffeemaker OFF at this point and
let it soak for at least 15 minutes to soften
any deposits.
8. Turn the coffeemaker back ON and brew the
remaining solution into the carafe. When brew
cycle has stopped, turn OFF coffeemaker,
empty carafe, and discard soiled paper filter.
9. Refill reservoir with cold water and turn ON to
run another brew cycle. You may want to repeat
again to eliminate any vinegar smell/taste.
10. Wash the brew basket and carafe.
11. Open the Water Filter, pull out the old
charcoal, discard and replace with a
new one (Fig. 10).
12. Place the Water Filter with new charcoal
into the reservoir. Coffeemaker
is cleaned
and ready for use.
To reset the cycle count and remove the
reminder in the control panel display, push the
"Filter Reset" button.
