Decalcifying
Calcium buildup frequently occurs in drip coffeemakers.
The buildup is quite normal and is caused by minerals commonly found
in drinking water.
We recommend periodically decalcifying your coffeemaker with a
solution of white vinegar and cold water. Use a solution of 1 cup white
vinegar in one carafe of cold water filled to the 4-cup line.
Note: Before decalcifying your coffeemaker, remove the water filter
from the reservoir.
Pour the solution into the water reservoir, put the empty carafe and
empty filter basket in place, and close the lid. Switch the coffeemaker on
and allow the coffeemaker to “brew” the vinegar solution.
When the vinegar solution has finished brewing, empty the carafe and
rinse in clean water. Refill the water reservoir with clean, cold water and
run a second “brew” cycle. This will rinse out any remaining vinegar
solution. If necessary, repeat this last step.
We recommend decalcifying your drip coffeemaker four times a year or
at any time the brewing time takes longer than normal.
Using the Programmable Timer
Your coffeemaker has a multi-function timer built into the face of the
unit. The following sections describe the proper use of this timer.
Presetting the Brewing Cycle
To preset your coffeemaker to begin brewing at a later time, first follow
steps 1 through 5 in the section “Using Your Coffeemaker.”
Check to make sure that the clock is set to the correct time. See “Setting
the Clock,” page 10.
Press and hold the PROGRAM button for two seconds. Two beeps will
sound. The delay timer is now ready to set.
Press and hold Hour and/or Minute buttons to set the time to begin
brewing. There is a blue PM indicator light on the bottom left side of the
clock. Ensure time is set correctly for AM or PM.
Once the correct delay time has been set, press the PROGRAM button
to activate the timer. You will notice that the PROGRAM indicator light
will illuminate and the clock/timer will return to the current time.
To cancel the delay time, simply press and hold the PROGRAM button
for two seconds. The PROGRAM indicator light will turn off.
Care and Cleaning
Caution:
Be sure to unplug this appliance before cleaning. To protect
against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or unit in water or
other liquid.
Wash the carafe and carafe lid with warm, soapy water or place in top
rack of dishwasher.
The filter basket and permanent filter may be washed in warm,
soapy water. Remove the filter basket by lifting straight up and out of
the filter housing. To reinsert the basket, simply place back into the filter
housing. The Coffeemaker Housing may be wiped with a clean damp
cloth when necessary.
Important:
Never immerse the coffeemaker housing in water or
other liquid.
Do not try to clean the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth because
this will leave a residue of lint and may clog your drip coffeemaker. Just
rinse with cold water periodically.
