Water Filtration Disk Replacement

Your water filtration disk will need to be replaced

once a month (approx. 30 brew cycles). If the machine

will not be in use for an extended period of time,

rinse the water filter with running water and clean the

coffeemaker before use.

Cleaning the Carafe

Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the carafe, and coffee

may then turn this stain brown. To remove carafe stains:

• Fill the carafe with a solution of equal parts water

and vinegar and let the solution stand in the carafe

for approximately 20 minutes.

• Discard the solution, then wash and rinse the

carafe. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners that may

scratch the carafe.

NOTE: Thermal carafe or carafe lid are not dish washer safe.
