CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY
ALL PARTS AFTER EVERY USE
Always turn coffeemaker OFF and remove
the plug from the electrical outlet before
cleaning.
Open the reservoir lid*. Remove the grinder
basket lid by using the recessed area on
each side of the lid. Then remove grinder
basket. Open filter basket door. Remove filter
basket cover, filter basket and filter basket
holder. The grinder basket, grinder basket
lid, filter basket and filter basket cover can
be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed
thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of
the dishwasher. Dry all parts after every use.
Do not put any water in the unit once the
grinder basket has been removed. Wipe
the area under the grinder basket with a
damp cloth. If water gets into the grinder
motor, the motor may become damaged
and may malfunction.
Once clean, reverse
the above steps. Remove the carafe from the
resting 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 scouring
agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the
coffeemaker. Never immerse base unit in
water or other liquid. To clean base, simply
wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before
storing.
Wipe heating plate with a clean, damp cloth.
Never use rough, abrasive materials or
cleansers to clean the heating plate. Do not
dry the inside of the water reservoir with a
cloth, as lint may remain.
*Note:
Reservoir lid can also be removed for
easy cleaning. Open the lid 60˚ and gently
pull toward you. To replace, reverse steps.
MAINTENANCE
Any other servicing should be performed by
an authorized service representative.
DECALCIFICATION
Decalcification refers to removing the
calcium deposits which form over time on
the metal parts of the coffeemaker.
For best performance from your coffeemaker,
decalcify the base unit from time to time.
The frequency depends upon the hardness
of your tap water and how often you use the
coffeemaker.
NOTE: Before decalcifying your
coffeemaker, remember to remove the
charcoal water filter from the water filter
holder located in the water reservoir.
To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity
with a mixture of ¹⁄³ white vinegar and
²⁄³ water. Turn the coffeemaker on by
pressing the ON button. One cycle should
be sufficient to adequately clean the
coffeemaker. When the cycle is completed
and five beeps sound, turn coffeemaker off.
Repeat operation, this time using fresh cold
water.
Brew Pause
™
Feature
Our Brew Pause
™
feature interrupts the flow
of coffee from the basket to let you pour
that first cup mid-brew. Be aware that using
this feature will weaken the flavor strength of
the finished pot, because the flavor profile of
coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle
differs from coffee made at the end.
NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20
seconds may cause filter basket to overflow.
