CLEANING YOUR COFFEE MAKER

CAUTION: Always make sure coffee maker is unplugged and warming plate
is cool before attempting to clean. To protect against electric shock,
do not immerse cord, plug or unit in water or other liquid.
The outside of your coffee maker can be cleaned by wiping the surface
l
with a damp, soft cloth.
IMPORTANT: Never immerse the coffee maker in water or other liquid.
Glass carafe, carafe lid and removable filter basket may be washed with warm,
l
soapy water, or placed in the top rack of the dishwasher. Do not place any
other parts of the coffee maker in the dishwasher.
Do not clean the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth as the cloth
l
may have a lint residue that could clog the coffee maker.
For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser.
l
Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
Calcium deposits may build up in the coffee maker as a result of minerals
l
commonly found in drinking water. The build-up is normal and may result
in a slow-down of the coffee maker's brewing time. The slow-down can be
eliminated by periodically decalcifying the coffee maker.
To decalcify, fill the carafe with cold water and two tablespoons of white vinegar.
l
Pour the solution into the water reservoir, then close the lid. Place the carafe on
the warming plate and allow the coffee maker to brew the vinegar solution.
While decalcifying, do not use a filter in the filter basket. When the vinegar
solution has finished brewing, empty the carafe and rinse it out with cold water.
Refill the water reservoir with cold water only and run another brew cycle to
remove any remaining vinegar solution. Repeat if necessary.
