CARE AND CLEANING
NOTE - Always turn coffeemaker off and remove the plug
from the electrical outlet before cleaning unit.
NOTE - Failing to properly clean the coffee chute may lead
to grind accumulations, which can result in weak-tasting coffee.
NOTE - Use caution when inserting the new water filter so that it does not tear.
CLEANING THE COFFEE BEAN CHUTE
4. Hold the filter under cold running tap water to flush, being sure to have the hole openings in
the unit directly under the water stream. Allow water to drain from filter completely.
5. Place the new charcoal water filter into the water reservoir, pushing it all the
way down into the base. Coffeemaker is cleaned and ready for use.
To remove the Clean Filter icon in the Control Panel Display, push the Strength and 2 -12 Cup
buttons simultaneously.
TO CLEAN
1. Open the lid of reservoir, and pull out the water filter.
See Fig. 8.
2. Pour white vinegar into water reservoir up to the 6-cup
level shown in the reservoir's window.
3. Add cold water up to the 12-cup line.
4. Put a paper filter in the brew basket, close door, and place
empty carafe on the warming plate.
5. Turn ON the coffeemaker and let half of the vinegar water
solution brew through into carafe.
6. Turn the coffeemaker OFF at this point and let it soak for at
least 15 minutes to soften any deposits.
7. Turn the coffeemaker back ON and brew the remaining
solution into the carafe. When brew cycle has stopped, turn
OFF coffeemaker, empty carafe, and discard soiled paper
filter.
8. Refill reservoir with cold water and turn ON to run another
brew cycle. You may want to repeat again to eliminate any
vinegar smell/taste.
9. Wash the brew basket and carafe.
TO CHANGE THE CHARCOAL WATER FILTER
1. Remove new filter from wrapping and soak in cold
tap water for 15 minutes.
2. Grasp the water filter holder's stem in one hand,
with the word Open facing up. Using the thumb of the
other hand, gently press down and pull toward you.
See Fig. 9. Compartment will flip open.
3. Place the filter in the holder and close the water
filter holder; you will hear a snap indicating the filter is
in place.
We suggest cleaning the Coffee Bean Chute every 1 to 2 weeks, depending on frequency of use.
CLEANING THE COFFEEMAKER AND CHANGING THE WATER FILTER
After every 70 cycles, or carafes of coffee, a Clean Filter icon will flash on and off in the control
panel display to tell the user it is time to clean the inside of the coffeemaker of all mineral buildup,
and to change the charcoal water filter. See Fig. 7
To clean the Chute, use the back end of the
brush handle and insert in the Lock/Turn button.
Turn to the position and lift up the Chute
Cover. See Fig. 6.
Use the brush to brush any ground coffee that
remains down into the lowest part of chute. Be
sure to have a filter in place. Coffee grinds will
go into filter.
Close Chute Door and turn button back to
position.
Mineral deposits left by hard
water can clog your coffeemaker.
Cleaning is recommended about
every 70 uses, when the coffee-
maker's reminder lets you know
you have reached this point.
