COFFEE BREWING TIPS
• Stir coffee in carafe before serving to evenly distribute the flavor.
• For variety add a 1-inch piece of lemon or orange peel to the coffee grounds before brewing.
• Add a 2-inch piece of vanilla bean to the sugar bowl. You'll be surprised at how good it tastes.
• Keep your coffee maker very clean; you'll be pleased with the flavor.
• If coffee is left on the hot plate, be sure to remove the coffee grounds from the filter basket as
soon as they have cooled slightly.
• Ground coffee can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks and still
make fresh tasting coffee.
• Use cold tap water; hot tap water that has been sitting in a water heater may give your coffee
a metallic taste.

MAINTAINING YOUR COFFEEMAKER
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning with vinegar
is recommended every 3 months.
USING VINEGAR
1. Pour white vinegar into water reservoir up to 2-cup level on water window.
2. Add cold water up to 5-cup line.
3. Place a paper filter in the filter basket and close the cover.
4. Set empty carafe on the "Keep Hot" plate.
5. Turn on coffeemaker and let half the cleaning solution brew into carafe (till water
level goes down to around "3"). Turn off coffeemaker and let it soak for at least
15 minutes to soften the deposits.
6. Turn on coffeemaker and brew remaining cleaning solution into carafe.
7. Turn off coffeemaker, empty carafe and discard filter.
8. Fill reservoir with cold water to 5-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.
9. Wash the brew basket and carafe as instructed in "CLEANING."
CLEANING TIPS
• Excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle is a sign that a cleaning is
needed.
• The frequency of flushing out deposits is determined by your usage and water
hardness.
• During cleaning, more steaming occurs than when brewing coffee and there may be
some spitting.
