Your Coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive
steaming or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused
by a build-up of lime and mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action
stops before all the water has been pumped out of the machine, the appliance
requires cleaning.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The
following table gives a suggested cleaning schedule.
TYPE OF WATER
Your Coffeemaker may be cleaned using vinegar.
Cleaning the Decanter
Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter. Coffee may then turn this
stain brown.
To remove decanter stains:
1. Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts tap water and vinegar and let the
solution stand in the decanter for approximately 20 minutes.
2. Discard the solution and wash and rinse the decanter.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleansers that may scratch the decanter; scratches
may cause the decanter to break.
STO R I N G YO U R A PPLIAN CE
Allow the appliance to cool completely before storing. If storing the coffee maker
for long periods of time make certain that it is clean and free of food particles.
Store the coffee maker in a dry location such as on a table or countertop or
cupboard shelf.
