Cleaning and Maintenance

COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY ALL PARTS AFTER EVERY USE.
Always turn coffee maker "Off" and remove the plug from the electrical outlet
before cleaning it.
Remove the glass carafe from the warming plate. Discard any remaining coffee.
The glass carafe, carafe lid and filter baskets may be washed in warm soapy
water and rinsed thoroughly, or on the top rack of a dishwasher. Do not place
any other parts of the coffee maker in the dishwasher. Do not use scouring
agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffee maker.
During cleaning of the filter basket, the spring (located lower back of the handle)
may become detached. If not reattached, it may prevent the anti-drip function
from working properly.
Never immerse base unit in water or any other liquid. To clean base, simply wipe
with a clean damp cloth and dry before storing. Wipe the warming plate with a
clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleaners to clean the
warming plate. Do not try to clean the inside of the water tank with a cloth as
residue or lint might remain and clog up your coffee maker.
Mineral Deposits and Decalcifying
Mineral deposit build-up frequently occurs in coffee makers. This build-up is quite
normal and is caused by minerals commonly found in drinking water.
Periodically, your coffee maker will need cleaning to remove any mineral
deposits that may form. Excessive steaming or prolonged brewing cycle is a sign
that your coffee maker needs decalcifying. During decalcifying, more steaming
will occur than while brewing coffee.
1) Lift carafe lid. Pour two tablespoons of white vinegar in the carafe and add
cold water and fill up carafe.
2) Pour vinegar/water solution into water tank.
3) Place the glass carafe on the warming plate.
4) Open the filter basket holder and place a coffee filter into the filter basket.
5) Press power button to turn the coffee maker on.
6) Let half of the cleaning solution brew into the carafe, and then press the
power button again to turn the coffee maker "Off".
7) Let the coffee maker cool for 15 minutes to soften the mineral deposits.
8) Pour the liquid that brewed into the carafe back into the water tank.
