CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Always turn coffeemaker off and remove the
plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Lift up the reservoir cover. Remove and discard
the paper filter and ground coffee. The filter
basket can be washed in warm, soapy water
and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper
rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after use.
Do not put any water in the unit once the
filter basket has been removed. Wipe the
area under the filter basket with a damp
cloth.
Remove the carafe from the heating plate.
Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and
lid can be washed in warm, soapy water and
rinsed thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher.
The carafe and carafe lid should be placed
on the upper rack only.
Helpful Hint:
Coffee contains oils that can build
up on your carafe. For best performance, wash
carafe and wipe pour spout clean after each
use.
Do not use any scouring agents or harsh
cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker.
Never immerse base unit in water or other
liquids. To clean base, simply wipe with a clean,
damp cloth and dry before storing. Fingerprints
and other blemishes on the glass housing can
be washed off with soap and water or a
nonabrasive cleaning solution. Wipe resting
plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use
rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean
the resting plate. Do not dry the inside of the
water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.
DECALCIFICATION
Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium
deposits that form over time on the metal parts
of your coffeemaker. The mineral content of the
tap water in your area and the frequency of use
affects the rate of the calcium buildup, which
can affect the functioning of your coffeemaker
and the flavor of your coffee.
For best performance from your coffeemaker,
we recommend cleaning it whenever the
CLEAN LED indicator lights up.
NOTE:
Before decalcifying your unit, remove
the charcoal water filter from the water
reservoir.
To clean:
1. Fill the water reservoir to capacity with a
mixture of 1⁄3 white vinegar and 2⁄3 water.
2. Press and hold the CLEAN button. When
the CLEAN LED indicator flashes, the
coffeemaker is in Clean mode. Release the
button.
3. When the cycle is completed, 5 beeps will
sound and the coffeemaker will shut off.
4. If the CLEAN indicator illuminates once
more, repeat the cleaning procedure with a
fresh solution of vinegar and water.
NOTE:
One cleaning cycle is usually
sufficient.
5. When the CLEAN indicator remains off, run
one cycle with a full reservoir of fresh, cold
water to rinse the unit.
6. Return the charcoal water filter to the holder
inside the water reservoir, and your
coffeemaker is ready to brew!
MAINTENANCE
Any other servicing should be performed by
an authorized service representative.
