Cleaning the Gold Cup Brewer
Regular cleaning and preventive maintenance is essential in keeping your coffee brewer looking and working like new.
CAUTION – Do not use cleansers, bleach liquids, powders or any other substance containing chlorine. These
products promote corrosion and will pit the stainless steel. USE OF THESE PRODUCTS
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
1. Mix dish washing liquid in warm water to make a mild cleaning solution.

fee, spills or debris.

cleaning solution.

Liquid Level Probe
Cleaning intervals for the probe are to be determined by the user or the service tech, based on
water conditions. The use of water filters, or the type of water filter that is being
used can impact the service interval. Intervals can be from one month to several
years, however, replacing rather than cleaning the probe is preferable.
WARNING: Disconnect electrical power before removing access panels!
This procedure involves working with hot water and hot surfaces!
1. Unplug the power cord and shut off the water line.
2. Remove the top cover of the unit. Locate the top of the tank and remove the
cover.
3. Drain the tank to a level about 3" below the tip of the probe.
4. Allow some time for the probe to cool before working on the brewer.
5. Clean the tip of the probe using a Scotch-Brite
6. If a residual white layer is still visible on the probe, remove the probe and soak
it in vinegar or a scale removing chemical. Repeat this step until the white layer
is removed.
7. When assembling the probe back onto the tank, make sure the tip of the probe
is pointing downward as illustrated.
