DESCALING
Special cleaning of your Coffee Maker is recommended at least once a month,
depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in the unit. If water in your area
is especially hard, the following cleaning procedure should be performed every 2 weeks,
since minerals in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen
brew time.
1. Fill carafe with 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts cold water. Pour water and vinegar
solution into the water reservoir.
2. Brew the vinegar solution until the carafe is half full.
NOTE: During cleaning, more steam will occur than during normal coffee brewing.
3. Press and hold the START button to turn the Coffee Maker OFF.
When liquid stops dripping from filter holder into the carafe, remove the carafe
and allow liquid to cool for 15 minutes. When cooled, lift lid and pour liquid back
into the water reservoir.
4. Close the lid. Return carafe to the warming plate.
5. BREW THE VINEGAR SOLUTION again, allowing all the cleaning solution to empty
into the carafe. After dripping has stopped, discard contents of the carafe.
6. Allow Coffee Maker to cool for 15 minutes, rinse by brewing a carafe full of cold
water. Insert the clean permanent coffee filter into the removable filter holder before
brewing.
7. At end of brew cycle, press and hold the START button to turn Coffee Maker OFF.
Discard water in the carafe. Wash carafe, permanent coffee filter, and removable
filter holder in hot sudsy water. Dry parts thoroughly.
