CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Daily
Always unplug brewer and allow to cool before cleaning. Wash filter basket and carafe lid in
hot, sudsy water. Rinse inside of thermal carafe with lukewarm water. Wipe brewer and outside
of thermal carafe with damp cloth and dry. Never put brewer or thermal carafe in water or in
the dishwasher. For hard to remove stains, use a plastic mesh pad or a cloth dampened in
vinegar. Do not use metal cleaning pad or abrasive cleaners.

Minerals found in water can clog brewer or reduce its efficiency. To prevent this use Urnex
Dezcal. Add Dezcal and water mixture to water reservoir.
DO NOT OVERFILL.
Place empty
thermal carafe (with lid securely closed) on platform and press “BREW” button. After mixture
has been cycled through, press “OFF” button. Rinse by cycling through 2 or 3 more carafes of
plain cold tap water. Do not pour any liquid other than cold tap water or Dezcal mixture into
reservoir opening when cleaning.
PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not place a cloth or otherwise restrict airflow beneath the brewer.
2. To avoid accidents, make sure thermal carafe lid is in “CLOSED” position during brewing
and while pouring; do not pour in the direction of people.
3. When pouring, hold thermal carafe by the handle only.
4. CAUTION: Burns may result from spilled, hot liquid and/or contact with hot parts.
