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 

filter and ground coffee . 

WARNING

Caution: The coffee reservoir may contain hot coffee. 

Allow to cool before lifting.

Remove the brew basket, coffee reservoir and drip 

tray . These 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 

and coffee reservoir have been removed. Wipe the area 

under the reservoir with a damp cloth. 

Neither the reservoir lid nor the reservoir should be put 

into the dishwasher . Clean them with a damp, soapy, 

non-abrasive cloth and rinse thoroughly . Do not dry  

the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint  

may remain .
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 housing can be washed off with soap and water or  

a nonabrasive cleaning solution . Never use rough,  

abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the warming 

plate . Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with 

a cloth, as lint may remain .

Maintenance:

 Any other servicing should be  

performed by an authorized service representative . 

Decalcification

Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium  

deposits that form over time on the metal parts of  

the coffeemaker .
For best performance from your Coffee on Demand

 

Coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit from time to time . 

The frequency depends upon the hardness of your 

tap water and how often you use the coffeemaker . 

The flashing Clean light will indicate when you should 

clean your coffeemaker .

NOTE:

 Before decalcifying your coffeemaker, remember 

to remove the charcoal water filter from the water filter 

holder located in the water reservoir .
If the Clean light begins to flash when the coffeemaker 

is turned on, it is telling you that the calcium buildup 

is interfering with the functioning of your coffeemaker 

and the flavor of your coffee . To clean, fill the water 

reservoir to capacity with a mixture of ¹⁄³ white vin-

egar and ²⁄³ water . Press the Clean button . When the 

self-clean light glows, turn the coffeemaker on by 

pressing the ON/OFF button . The Clean light will shine 

steadily . The coffeemaker is now in Clean mode . One 

cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean the cof-

feemaker . When the cycle is completed and the five 

beeps sound, the coffeemaker will shut off . Turn the 

coffeemaker on to see if the Clean light continues to 

flash . If it does, turn it off and then repeat the cleaning 

procedure with a fresh solution of vinegar and water .
If the Clean light no longer flashes, turn the coffee-

maker off and then run one cycle of fresh cold water 

through the unit before using the unit again to brew 

coffee .
