Once clean, reverse the above steps.
Remove the carafe from the warming 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 warm-
ing plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use
rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean
the warming 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.
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 cof-
feemaker.
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 the five beeps sound,
turn coffeemaker off. Repeat operation this
time using fresh cold water.
