Care And Cleaning
Always make sure Coffeemaker is unplugged and in the OFF
position and Warming Plate is cool before attempting to clean.
After daily use, the Filter Basket and Glass Carafe should be
washed in hot, sudsy water. Wipe exterior with a damp cloth to
remove superficial stains. For stubborn stains, use a nylon or
plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser. Do not use metal
scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
Descaling
Special cleaning of your Coffeemaker is recommended at least
once a month, depending on frequency of use and quality of
water used in the unit. If water in your area is especially hard,
the following cleaning procedure should be performed every
two weeks, since minerals in water can detract from the flavor of
the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time.
1. Fill Glass Carafe with one part white vinegar to three parts
cold water. Pour water and vinegar solution into the Water
Reservoir.
2. Place a paper filter or Permanent Filter in the Removable
Filter Basket and return to original position. Place Glass
Carafe on Warming Plate. Switch Power Select Button to ON.
During cleaning, more steam will occur than during normal
brewing.
3. KEEP THE COFFEEMAKER ON UNTIL GLASS CARAFE IS
HALF FULL. Switch Power Select Button to OFF. When
liquid stops dripping from Filter Holder into the Glass
Carafe, remove Glass Carafe and allow liquid to cool in the
Glass Carafe for 10 minutes. When cooled, pour liquid back
into the Water Reservoir.
4. Return Glass Carafe to Warming Plate.
5. Switch Power Select Button to ON. Repeat procedure,
allowing all the cleaning solution to empty into the Glass
Carafe. After dripping has stopped, discard contents of Glass
Carafe.
