MAINTAINING YOUR COFFEEMAKER
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning with vinegar is
recommended every 3 months.

2. Add cold water up to 5-cup line.
3. Place permanent filter into the filter basket holder and close the cover.
4. Set empty carafe on the "Keep Hot" plate.
5. Turn on coffeemaker and let half the cleaning solution brew into carafe (untill water
level goes down to around "3"). Turn off coffeemaker and let it soak for at least
15 minutes to soften the deposits.
6. Turn on coffeemaker and brew remaining cleaning solution into carafe.
7. Turn off coffeemaker, empty carafe and remove permanent filter.
8. Fill reservoir with cold water to 5-cup line, replace empty carafe; then, turn on
coffeemaker for a complete brew cycle to flush out remaining cleaning solution. You
may have to repeat this to eliminate the vinegar smell/taste.

CLEANING TIPS
• excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle is a sign that a cleaning is needed.
• The frequency of flushing out deposits is determined by your usage and water
hardness.
• during cleaning, more steaming occurs than when brewing coffee and there may be
some spitting.
