automatically. After brewing, the user can replace the carafe on the warming
plate.
NOTE: If the coffee maker is left unattended for two hours after brewing, it
will be shut off automatically.
Cleaning and Maintenance
COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY ALL PARTS AFTER EVERY USE.
Be sure to unplug the appliance before cleaning. To protect against electrical
shock, do not immerse cord, plug or unit in water or other liquid.
The glass carafe, carafe lid, and filter basket may be washed with warm soapy
water, or placed in the top rack of the dishwasher. Do not place any other part or
parts of your coffee maker in the dishwasher. The heating plate may be wiped
with a clean, damp cloth when necessary. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners
on any part or parts of your coffee maker.
Wipe the appliance’s exterior surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove stains.
Never immerse the heating plate or main housing in water or any other liquid. Do
not try to clean the inside of the water chamber with a cloth, this will leave a
residue of lint and may clog your coffee maker. Just rinse with cold water
periodically.
Mineral Deposits and Decalcifying
Mineral deposit build-up frequently occurs in coffee makers. This build-up is quite
normal and is caused by minerals commonly found in drinking water. Periodically,
your coffee maker will need cleaning to remove any mineral deposits that may
form. Excessive steaming or prolonged brewing cycle is a sign that your coffee
maker needs decalcifying. During decalcifying, more steaming will occur than
while brewing coffee.
1. Lift carafe lid. Pour two tablespoons of white vinegar in the carafe and add
cold water and fill up carafe.
2. Pour vinegar/water solution into water tank.
3. Place the glass carafe on the warming plate.
4. Open the filter basket holder and place a coffee filter into the filter basket.
5. Press power button to turn the coffee maker on.
6. Let half of the cleaning solution brew into the carafe, and then press the
power button again to turn the coffee maker “Off”.
7. Let the coffee maker cool for 15 minutes to soften the mineral deposits.
