wash them in a solution of hot water and mild liquid
soap. Never use abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads or
other abrasive materials. Dishwasher top rack safe parts:
glass decanter and lid, filter basket and permanent filter.
The water filter disk is not dishwasher safe.
CAUTION!
Never immerse the coffeemaker itself in
water, in any other liquid or place in the
dishwasher.

your coffeemaker needs to be cleaned. The red light
will turn off after the clean cycle has been completed.
Decalcifying your SUNBEAM

Coffeemaker
Minerals (calcium/limestone) found in water will
leave deposits in your coffeemaker and affect its
performance. It’s recommended that you regularly
remove these deposits
using cleaner or vinegar.
NOTE:
4 cups or 20 fl. oz. of undiluted, white household
vinegar may be used as a substitute for the cleaner.
1. Place an empty SUNBEAM

12 cup basket-style
paper filter or SUNBEAM
