Clean Function Indicator
Your Clean Indicator will illuminate when:
• Your coffeemaker has counted 90 brew cycles OR Your coffeemaker
experiences two consecutive brew cycles lasting longer than 9.5 minutes.
NOTE:
The cleaning light will NOT turn off unless you run the CLEAN
FUNCTION in its entirety (this will take 45 minutes).
Follow these steps to run the clean function:
1. Fill reservoir with 6 cups of undiluted, white household vinegar.
2. Remove optional water filtration disk. Place empty paper filter or
permanent filter in brew basket.
3. Place the empty carafe back in the unit.
4. Press the CLEAN button to activate the Cleaning Function.
a. When activated, the cleaning light will pulse, and the Brew Now/Off
button will remain illuminated.
b. The entire cycle will take 45 minutes to complete.
5. During the cleaning cycle your coffeemaker will:
a. Slow brew approx. 3 cups of cleaning solution.
b. Pause for 30 minutes (the CLEAN light will pulse to alert you that the
process is active).
c. After 30 minutes, your coffeemaker will brew the remainder of the
cleaning solution.
6. When complete, the CLEAN indicator light will turn off and your
coffeemaker will turn off.
7. Discard the cleaning solution, paper filter (or rinse the permanent filter)
and rinse the carafe and filter basket thoroughly with clean water.
8. Brew 2 full 10 cup cycles with clean water.
Your coffeemaker is now clean and ready to brew the next pot of delicious, hot
coffee!
Water Filtration Disk Replacement
Your water filtration disk will need to be replaced once a month (approx. 30
brew cycles). If the machine will not be in use for an extended period of time,
rinse the water filter with running water and clean the coffeemaker before use.
Cleaning the Thermal Carafe
Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the carafe, and coffee may then turn
this stain brown. To remove carafe stains:
• Fill the carafe with a solution of equal parts water and vinegar and let the
solution stand in the carafe for approximately 20 minutes.
• Discard the solution, then wash and rinse the carafe. Do not use harsh
abrasive cleaners that may scratch the carafe.
NOTE
: Thermal carafe is not dishwasher safe.
