Cleaning the Decanter
Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter, and coffee may then turn this
stain brown.
To remove decanter stains:
1. Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts water and vinegar and let the
solution stand in the decanter for approximately 20 minutes.
2. Discard the solution, then wash and rinse the decanter.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners that may scratch the decanter, scratches may
cause the decanter to break.
5. Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the decanter thoroughly with clean water.
6. Fill the water reservoir with clean, fresh water.
7. Place the empty decanter back on the coffeemaker, centered on the warming plate.
8. Remove and discard the the paper filter used during the cleaning cycle. If a
permanent filter was used during cleaning, remove it and rinse it thoroughly before
replacing it in the filter basket.
9. Begin brewing and allow the full brew cycle to complete.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 one more time.
Your coffeemaker is now clean and ready to brew the next pot of delicious, hot coffee!
