Care And Cleaning Instructions
1. Always make sure Coffeemaker is unplugged and Base Plate
is cool before attempting to clean.
2. After daily use, the Removable Filter Basket, Thermal Carafe
and Carafe Lid should be washed in warm, soapy water.
3. If necessary, wipe the outside of the Coffeemaker with a soft,
damp cloth and wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleansers, scour-
ing pads or steel wool.
Special cleaning of your Coffeemaker is recommended at least
once a month, depending on frequency of use and quality of water
used in the unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the follow-
ing cleaning procedure should be performed every two weeks,
since minerals in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee and
possibly lengthen brew time.
1. Fill the Carafe with one part white vinegar to three parts cold
water. Pour water and vinegar solution into the Water Chamber.
2. Open the Hinged Filter Lid, place a paper filter in the Remov-
able Filter Basket then close the Lid. Place Carafe on Base
Plate. Press the Power Select Button to ON. Note: During
cleaning, more steam will occur than during normal brewing.
3. KEEP THE COFFEEMAKER ON UNTIL HALF THE WATER
HAS CYCLED THROUGH THE COFFEEMAKER, AS CAN BE
VIEWED THROUGH THE WATER LEVEL INDICATOR. Press
the Power Select Button to OFF. When liquid stops dripping
from the Removable Filter Basket into the Carafe, remove the
Carafe and allow the liquid to cool for 10 minutes. When cooled,
pour liquid back into the Water Chamber.
4. Return Carafe to Base Plate.
5. Switch control to ON. Repeat procedure, allowing all the clean-
ing solution to empty into the Carafe. After dripping has
stopped, discard contents in Carafe.
6. After allowing the Coffeemaker to cool for 10 minutes, rinse it
out by brewing a Carafe full of cold water. Make sure to insert
a fresh filter into the Removable Filter Basket before brewing.
