CLEANING
1. Be sure the unit is off and cooled. Open the cover, remove the brew basket (lift straight
up), and discard the paper filter/grounds. Clean as follows: brew basket, carafe, and carafe
lid are all top rack dishwasher-safe; or they may be hand washed in warm, sudsy water.
See below for carafe care. The coffeemaker's exterior, control panel area and "Keep Hot"
plate may be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring
pads. Never immerse the coffeemaker in water.
2. To clean inside the reservoir cover, pull the water spreader down (C),
wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth, and snap the water spreader
back into place.
Carafe Care
A damaged carafe may result in possible burns from a hot liquid.
To avoid breaking:
• Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from the carafe while on the
"Keep Hot" plate or heat the carafe when empty.
C
•
Discard the carafe if chipped, cracked, or damaged in any manner.
• Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers; they will scratch and weaken the glass.
• Do not place the carafe on or near a gas or electric burner, in a heated oven, or in
a microwave oven.

• Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.
Mineral Deposits and Clogging
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning is recommended
every 3 months. Excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle is a sign that a cleaning is
needed. The frequency of flushing out deposits is affected by your usage and water hardness.
During cleaning, more steaming occurs than when brewing coffee and there may be some
spitting.
1. Pour white vinegar into water reservoir up to 2-cup level on water window. Add cold
water up to 4-cup line.
2. Put a paper filter in the brew basket and close the cover. Set empty carafe on the "Keep
Hot" plate.
3. Turn on coffeemaker and let half the cleaning solution brew into carafe (till water level
goes down to around "2"). Turn off coffeemaker and let it soak for at least 15 minutes to
soften the deposits.
4. Turn on coffeemaker and brew remaining cleaning solution into carafe.
5. Turn off coffeemaker, empty carafe and discard soiled filter.
6. Fill reservoir with cold water to 4-cup line, replace empty carafe, then turn on
coffeemaker for a complete brew cycle to flush out remaining cleaning solution. You may
have to repeat this to eliminate the vinegar smell/taste.
7. Wash the brew basket and carafe as instructed in "CLEANING."
