3.
Clean inside of coffee maker with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use
harsh abrasives or scouring pads on carafe.
4.
Carafe lid and removable filter basket may be washed with warm, soapy water
or placed in the top rack of the dishwasher. Do not place any other parts of
the coffee maker in the dishwasher.
5.
To clean the permanent filter, empty the grounds and rinse thoroughly.
6.
Do not clean the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth as the cloth may
have a lint residue that could clog the coffee maker.
7.
For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser.
Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
8.
Calcium deposits may build up in the coffee maker as a result of minerals
commonly found in drinking water. The build-up is normal and may result in a
slow down of the coffee maker’s brewing time. The slow down can be
eliminated by periodically decalcifying the coffee maker.
9.
To decalcify, fill the carafe with cold water and two tablespoons of white
vinegar. Pour the solution into the water reservoir, and then close the lid. Place
the carafe on the warming plate and allow the coffee maker to brew the
vinegar solution. While decalcifying, do not use a filter in the filter basket.
When the vinegar solution has finished brewing, empty the carafe and rinse it
out with cold water. Refill the water reservoir with cold water only and run
another brew cycle to remove any remaining vinegar solution. Repeat if
necessary.
