Descaling
Special cleaning of your Coffee Maker 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 2 weeks, since minerals
in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time.
1. Fill carafe with 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts cold water. Pour water and vinegar solution
into the water reservoir.
2. Brew the vinegar solution until the carafe is half full.
NOTE:
During cleaning, more steam will occur than during normal coffee brewing.
3. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the Coffee Maker OFF. When liquid stops dripping from
filter holder into the carafe, remove the carafe and allow liquid to cool for 15 minutes.
When cooled, lift lid and pour liquid back into the water reservoir.
4. Close the lid. Return carafe to the warming plate.
5. BREW THE VINEGAR SOLUTION again, allowing all the cleaning solution to empty into
the carafe. After dripping has stopped, discard contents of the carafe.
6. Allow Coffee Maker to cool for 15 minutes, rinse by brewing a carafe full of cold water.
Insert the clean permanent coffee filter into the removable filter holder before brewing.
7. At end of brew cycle, press the ON/OFF button to turn Coffee Maker OFF. Discard water
in the carafe. Wash carafe, permanent coffee filter, and removable filter holder in hot
sudsy water. Dry parts thoroughly.
8. When Coffee Maker has cooled, wipe exterior with a dry cloth.
