cleansers or scouring pads. Never immerse the coffeemaker in water.
2. To clean inside one-piece, open and allow it to rest in the open
position. Pull out showerhead, wipe surfaces with a damp cloth,
then push back into place and close the cover (A).
CARAFE CARE
A damaged carafe may result in possible burns from a hot liquid. To avoid breaking:
• do not allow all liquid to evaporate from the carafe while it is stationed on the “Keep
Hot” carafe plate, or heat the carafe when it is empty.
• discard the carafe if it is chipped, cracked or damaged in any manner.
• Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers, they will scratch and weaken the glass.
• do not place the carafe on or near a gas or electric burner, in a heated oven or in a
microwave oven.
• Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.
CLEANING WITH VINEGAR
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning is recommended
once a month.
1. Pour white vinegar into the water reservoir up to the 6-cup line on the water window.
Add cold water up to the 10-cup line.
2. Put a paper filter in the filter basket and close the cover. Set the empty carafe on the
“Keep Hot” carafe plate.
3. Turn on the coffeemaker and let half the cleaning solution brew into the carafe (until
water level goes down to around 5). Turn off the coffeemaker and let it soak for at least
15 minutes to soften the deposits.
4. Turn on the coffeemaker and brew the remaining cleaning solution into the carafe.
5. Turn off the coffeemaker; empty the carafe and discard the soiled filter.
6. Fill the reservoir with cold water to the 12-cup line, replace the empty carafe, then
turn on the coffeemaker for a complete brew cycle to flush out the remaining cleaning
solution. You may have to repeat this to eliminate the vinegar smell/taste.
