AUTO CLEAN™ SYSTEM
De-scaling With Auto Clean™
Over time, calcium deposits or “scale” may build up in your brewer. Scale is
non-toxic but if left unattended can hinder brewer performance and cause
premature failure. Regularly de-scaling your brewer helps to maintain quality
coffee as well as the lifespan of the heating element, and other internal parts
that come in contact with water throughout the brew process.
To make the de-scaling process as effortless as possible, an Auto Clean
system has been programmed into your coffeemaker.
When should I use Auto Clean?
After every 60 brews, “CL” will be displayed and blink. This notifies you it is
time to run the Auto Clean system. “CL” will be displayed until you run the
Auto Clean system. If you would like to clean your coffeemaker prior to 60
brew cycles, you may do so by following the steps below.
Please note:
If the unit is unplugged, the counter that keeps track of
reminding you to clean your coffeemaker will reset to 0.
If you have unplugged the coffeemaker, or if there have been power
outages, we recommend cleaning the unit once a month.
How do I use Auto Clean?
Follow the simple steps below. Your coffeemaker will take care of the rest.
1.
Combine 6 cups of white vinegar and 4 cups of cold water in carafe.
We recommend filtered water.
2. Pour into water reservoir.
3. Place an 8 to 12 cup basket style paper filter in the removable filter
basket. Insert filter basket into filter basket holder and close cover.
4. Make sure the lid of the carafe is in place and place empty carafe on
the carafe plate.
5. Plug power cord into an outlet.
6. Press CLEAN to activate cleaning cycle; “CL” is displayed and the
Start/Power button illuminates. The word, “CLEAN” scrolls across the
display.
7. Part of the mixture will brew through. The remaining mixture will be
held in the coffeemaker for 30 minutes before completing its brew
through.
Note:
The entire cleaning cycle will take 45–60 minutes to complete.
8. When the coffeemaker completes the AUTO CLEAN cycle, it shuts off
automatically.
9. Brew fresh water through appliance following instructions given in
GETTING STARTED before brewing coffee again.
