CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Be sure to unplug this appliance and allow it to cool down before cleaning.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or unit in water or liquid.
After each use, always make sure the plug is removed from the wall outlet before further
handling.
1. Clean all detachable parts after each use in hot, sudsy water.
2. Wipe the product's exterior surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove stains.
3. Water droplets may build up in the area above the funnel and drip onto the product
base during brewing. To control the dripping, wipe off the area with a clean, dry
cloth after each use of the product.
4. Never use an abrasive cleaner.
5. Reassemble all parts and store until next use
DESCALING
To ensure that your coffee maker operates optimally, it is recommended that your
appliance is descaled periodically (depending on usage). Over time, calcium deposits,
or scale, can build up inside a coffee maker – this could impact the performance of your
coffee brewer.
CLEANING WITH VINEGAR
This method is a do-it-yourself solution for descaling your coffee maker. However, you can
also use an all-purpose descaler but be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions on
packaging
1. Pour white vinegar into the water reservoir up to the 6-cup line on the water window.
Add cold water up to the 10-cup line.
2. Put a filter paper in the filter basket and close the cover. Set the empty carafe on the
warming plate.
3. Turn on the coffeemaker and let half the cleaning solution brew into the carafe (until
water level goes down to around "5"). Turn off the coffeemaker and let it soak for at
least 15 minutes to soften the deposits.
4. Turn on the coffeemaker and brew the remaining cleaning solution into the carafe.
5. Turn off the coffeemaker; empty the carafe and discard the soiled filter.
6. Fill the reservoir with cold water to the 12-cup line, replace the empty carafe,
then turn on the coffeemaker for a complete brew cycle to flush out the remaining
cleaning solution. You may have to repeat this to eliminate the vinegar smell/taste.
7. Wash the filter basket and carafe as instructed in CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
