Daily Cleaning
CAUTION:
Make sure your coffeemaker is unplugged and has cooled

solution of hot water and mild liquid soap, and dry thoroughly. You can
also place in the dishwasher; top-rack only.
Decalcifying your MR. COFFEE® PC05 Series Coffeemaker
Minerals (calcium/limestone) found in water will leave deposits in your
coffeemaker and affect its performance. It’s recommended that you regularly
remove these deposits using vinegar.
