MINERAL DEPOSITS AND CLOGGING
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Excessive steaming or a
prolonged brewing cycle are signs that a cleaning is needed. Cleaning is recommended at
least once a month.
1. Pour white vinegar into the water reservoir up to the 6-cup level on the water window.
Add fresh water up to the 12-cup line, and close the reservoir lid.
2. Grasp brew basket by small handle and swing open.
3. Put a new paper filter in the brew basket, swing the basket closed and be sure it latches.
Set the empty carafe on the “Keep Hot” plate.
4. Turn the coffee maker on and let half the cleaning solution brew into the carafe. Turn the
Coffee maker off and let it soak for at least 15 minutes to soften the deposits.
5. Turn the coffeemaker on and brew the remaining cleaning solution into the carafe.
6. When the cleaning solution has finished brewing, discard the paper filter empty the carafe
and rinse with clean water.
7. Refill the reservoir with cold water to the 12-cup line, replace the empty carafe, put a
paper filter in the brew basket, then turn on the coffeemaker and run another brew cycle to
flush out the remaining cleaning solution.
8. Wash the brew basket and carafe and carafe lid as instructed in “Care and Cleaning.”
