Descaling

We recommend that you descale your coffee maker once a month
because mineral deposits can form a coating in the coffee maker,
causing slower brewing time and possibly an off flavor in the
coffee. Use a cleaner recommended for coffee makers. To descale
your unit:

1. Pour two ounces of vinegar or coffee cleaner into the Water

Chamber. Add cold water to the level 2 indicator.

2. Place a clean #2 paper cone filter in the filter basket and close

Water Chamber Lid. Place both Mugs in proper position on
Base of unit.

3. Follow “Brewing” instructions (without coffee).
4. When the LED Indicator Light turns off, wait 15 minutes and

pour solution from Mugs back into coffee maker. Be sure that
the Filter Basket is still in proper position.

5. Turn unit on again. Allow all solution to empty into Mugs.

When LED Indicator Light turns off, discard solution.

6. Allow unit to cool 10 minutes. To rinse unit, fill Water Chamber

with fresh, cold water up to the level 2 indicator. Insert a fresh
paper filter into Filter Basket. Close Water Chamber Lid. Place
both Mugs in proper position on Base of unit and turn Power
Switch on.

7. At end of cycle, allow unit to cool, discard water and paper

filter. Wash and dry Mugs and other removable parts.

8. Unplug coffee maker from outlet. When coffee maker has

cooled, wipe exterior with a damp cloth.
