CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Always turn unit off and remove the plug
from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Lift up the Coffeemaker 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 resting 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.
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. 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.
Maintenance:
Any other servicing should
be performed by an authorized service
representative.
DESCALING
Descaling refers to the removal of calcium
deposits that form over time on the metal parts
of the Coffeemaker.
To Descale Your Coffeemaker
Depending on the mineral content of water in
your area, calcium deposits (scale) may build up
in your Coffeemaker. Though scale is not toxic,
it can affect performance. Descaling the
Coffeemaker when the indicator signals it is time
to do so will help protect the heating element
and other parts that come into contact with
water.
For optimal performance, descale Coffeemaker
every 3 to 6 months. If calcium deposits build up
faster, the CLEAN light will illuminate, indicating
10-Cup Coffeemaker should be descaled.
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!
