12-CUP COFFEEMAKER 
CLEANING AND 
MAINTENANCE

Always turn unit off and remove the plug from the 
electrical outlet before cleaning.

Lift up the coffeemaker reservoir cover. Remove and 
discard the paper filter and ground coffee. The filter 
basket can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed 
thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the 
dishwasher. Dry all parts after washing.

Do not put any water in the unit once the filter 
basket has been removed. Wipe the area under the 
filter basket with a damp cloth. 

Remove the carafe from the heating plate. Discard any 
remaining coffee. The carafe and lid can be washed in 
warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or placed in 
a dishwasher. The carafe and carafe lid should be 
placed on the upper rack only.

Do not use any scouring agents or harsh cleansers on 
any part of the coffeemaker.

Never immerse base unit in water or other liquids. To 
clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and 
dry before storing. Fingerprints and other blemishes on 
the housing can be washed off with soap and water or 
a nonabrasive cleaning solution. Wipe heater plate with 
a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive 
materials or cleansers to clean the heater plate. Do not 
dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint 
may remain. 

Maintenance:

 Any other servicing should be performed 

by an authorized service representative.

DESCALING

Descaling refers to the removal of calcium deposits that 
form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker.

To Descale Your Coffeemaker

Depending on the mineral content of water in your area, 
calcium deposits (scale) may build up in your 
coffeemaker. Though scale is not toxic, it can affect 
performance. Descaling the coffeemaker when the 
CLEAN indicator signals it is time to do so will help 
protect the heating element and other parts that come 
into contact with water.

For optimal performance, descale coffeemaker every 3 
to 6 months. If calcium deposits build up faster, the 
CLEAN light will illuminate, indicating 12-cup 
coffeemaker should be descaled.

To clean:

 1.   Fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of 

¹⁄

3

 white vinegar and 

2

3

 water.

 2.   Rotate the Function knob to CLEAN and press the 

CARAFE BREW button once. The cleaning process 
will start, and the CLEAN LED light will flash

 3.   When the cycle is completed, 5 beeps will sound 

and the coffeemaker will shut off.

 4.   If the CLEAN indicator illuminates once more, repeat 

the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of 
vinegar and water.

    NOTE: One cleaning cycle is usually sufficient.

 5.   When the CLEAN indicator remains off, run one 

cycle with a full reservoir of fresh, cold water to rinse 
the unit.

 6.   Return the charcoal water filter to the holder  

inside the water reservoir and your coffeemaker is 
ready to brew!

   

NOTE: To stop the  cleaning/descaling process, 
simply rotate the Function knob to a different 
position.

     If the CLEAN indicator light turns on and you 

wish to not descale now, rotate the Function 
knob to the CLEAN function and press and hold 
the ON/OFF button for two seconds. The CLEAN 
indicator will turn off. However, the CLEAN 
indicator will turn on again during subsequent 
brewing cycles until the  cleaning/descaling 
procedure is complete.
