USING VINEGAR
1. Fill the decanter to the 4 cup line with undiluted white household vinegar. Lift the lid and
pour the vinegar into the water reservoir of the coffeemaker.
2. Place a filter into the removable filter basket and close the lid.
3. Place the empty decanter on the warming plate. Turn the switch to the "on" position. When
three cups have flowed through, turn the coffeemaker to "off." Let stand for 30 minutes.
4. After 30 minutes, turn coffeemaker to "on" and let all of the vinegar pass through the
coffeemaker.
5. Once the brew cycle is complete, discard the vinegar and filter.
6. To flush out all traces of vinegar, pour a decanter full of clean, fresh water into the
coffeemaker, turn the switch to the "on" position. Allow water to cycle through.
7. Discard water and turn the coffeemaker OFF. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 until vinegar
odor is no longer noticable.
ClEANING THE DECANTER
Decanter and lid are top-rack dishwasher safe.
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the decanter. Coffee and tea discolor
these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the decanter. To remove these
stains, follow these easy steps.
1. Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.
2. Let solution stand in decanter for about 20 minutes. Discard.
3. Wash and rinse decanter thoroughly using soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.
These may cause scratches and can lead to breakage.
