Helpful Hints for Brewing
• Always use fresh, cold water for brewing. In areas with hard water
or where water contains a high mineral content, use cold filtered
water for optimal coffee taste.
• For best results, use Melitta
®
#2 paper cone filters and Melitta
®
Premium Fine Grind Roast Coffee.

light will be off.

Descaling
We recommend that you descale your coffee maker once a month
because mineral deposits can form a coating in the coffee maker,
causing slower brewing time and possibly an off flavor in the coffee.
Use a cleaner recommended for coffee makers. To descale your unit:
1. Pour two ounces of vinegar or coffee cleaner into the water
chamber. Add cold water to the level 2 indicator.
2. Place a clean #2 Melitta
®
paper cone filter in the filter basket and
close water chamber lid. Place both mugs in proper position on
base of unit.
3. Follow “Brewing” instructions (without coffee).
4. When the indicator light turns off, wait 15 minutes and pour
solution from mugs back into coffee maker. Be sure that the filter
basket is still in proper position.
5. Turn unit on again. Allow all solution to empty into mugs. When
indicator light turns off, discard solution.
6. Allow unit to cool 10 minutes. To rinse unit, fill chamber with
fresh, cold water up to the level 2 indicator. Insert a fresh paper
filter into filter basket. Close water chamber lid and turn power
switch on.
7. At end of cycle, allow unit to cool, discard water and paper filter.
Wash and dry mugs and other removable parts.
8. Unplug coffee maker from outlet. When coffee maker has
cooled, wipe exterior with a damp cloth.
