Helpful Hints for Brewing
• The markings on the water window reflect the quantity of fresh
water to be used. The quantity of brewed coffee is less because the
coffee grounds absorb water.
• Never use hot or carbonated water. This will damage the
appliance.
• Never pour milk, liquid coffee, tea, or other liquid, except water, into
the water chamber.
Care and Cleaning
1. Turn coffeemaker OFF. The indicator light will be off.
2. Unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
3. Open hinged lid on top of unit and remove filter basket.
Discard coffee grounds and paper filter. Wash and dry all
removable parts. Replace basket by fitting notch in groove of
unit.
4. Clean inside of lid and the outside of the coffeemaker with a
damp cloth.
CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR COFFEE-
MAKER UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
Descaling
We recommend you clean your coffeemaker once a month with a
solution of vinegar and water. Mineral deposits from tap water can
form a coating in the coffeemaker, causing slower brewing time
and possibly an off flavor in the coffee.
1. Pour 1 ⁄
2
cup vinegar into the carafe, and add cold water up to
the 4 cup mark. Pour into the water reservoir.
2. Place a clean paper filter in the filter basket and close.
