Tips On How To Brew The Perfect Cup
Descaling Cycle
Descaling your Sunbeam Easy Clean Drip Filter coffee machine
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 vinegar.
1. IMPORTANT: Remove the advanced water filtration system from the coffeemaker.
2. Prepare 4 cups or 600ml of undiluted, white household vinegar. Pour the vinegar into the
water reservoir.
3. Place the empty reusable filter into the filter basket and close the coffeemaker’s lid.
4. Place the empty carafe back in the unit, centered on the warming plate.
5. Press the Clean button.
6. The coffeemaker will run a slow clean cycle and shut off.
7. Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the carafe thoroughly with clean water.
8. Fill the water reservoir with 12 cups of clean, fresh water.
9. Place the empty carafe back on the coffeemaker, centered on the warming plate.
10. Remove the reusable filter used during the cleaning cycle and rinse it thoroughly before
replacing it in the filter basket.
11. Press Brew Now and allow the full brew cycle to complete, rinsing the coffeemaker with
hot water.
12. Discard the water and rinse the carafe thoroughly with clean water.
13. Repeat steps 8 through 12 one more time, to ensure it is fully rinsed.
Your coffeemaker is now clean and ready to brew the delicious, hot coffee!
NOTE: It is recommended that you descale your coffeemaker every 30 days.
PAPER FILTERS: To achieve a smoother, less bitter cup of coffee, use a paper filter. It will be
most effective in trapping bitter sediments.
REUSABLE FILTERS: For a more robust and full taste, use a reusable filter. It will allow the
coffee’s full flavor to fill your cup. Reusable filters have tiny holes that allow rich coffee oils to
brew through.
Water
While it may not seem like an important ingredient, coffee is 98 percent water. The type of water
that you brew with greatly affects the final taste. Always use clean, fresh water that is filtered
and free of impurities – avoid soft water or well water. Please refer to the “Advanced Water
Filtration” section to learn more about how your coffeemaker reduces impurities in water.
Carafe Use And Care
Follow the instructions below to reduce or eliminate the chance of breaking the glass carafe:
• Discard the carafe immediately if it is ever cracked.
• Protect the carafe from sharp blows, scratches or rough handling. Do not use harsh
abrasive cleaners that may scratch the carafe. Scratches may cause the carafe to break.
