CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Turn off the appliance, unplug from the outlet and wait for it to cool before cleaning.
Your Coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive steaming or the
brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a build-up of lime and
mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water has
been pumped out of the machine, the appliance requires cleaning.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The following table
gives a suggested cleaning schedule.

Hard Water
Every 40 Brew Cycles
Your Coffeemaker may be cleaned using vinegar.
Cleaning the Decanter
Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter. Coffee may then turn this stain
brown.
To remove decanter stains:
1) Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts tap water and vinegar and let the
solution stand in the decanter for approximately 20 minutes.
2) Discard the solution and wash and rinse the decanter.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleansers that may scratch the decanter; scratches may
cause the decanter to break.
