It is recommended to perform a special cleaning of your Coffee Maker 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
more regularly. Excessive accumulation of mineral deposits from hard water can detract
from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time. Excessive steaming or
prolonged brew time are signs that cleaning is needed.
1.
Fill half full mug with 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts cold water.
Pour water and vinegar solution into the water tank
2.
Center an empty mug on the drip tray under the nozzle.
3.
Turn switch to ON (I) to start brew cycle, allowing all of the solution to drip
into the mug.
NOTE: During cleaning, more steam will occur than during normal coffee brewing.
4.
When liquid stops dripping from filter holder into the mug, Turn switch to OFF (O),
remove the mug and allow liquid to cool for 15 minutes. When cooled, repeat steps
1-4 a second time.
5.
Allow Coffee Maker to cool for 15 minutes, rinse by brewing a full mug of cold
water. Insert the clean permanent coffee filter into the removable filter basket
before brewing. This step may need to be repeated in order to remove any
remaining vinegar taste.
