12-CUP COFFEEMAKER
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Always turn unit off and remove the plug from the
electrical outlet before cleaning.
Lift up the coffeemaker reservoir cover. Remove and
discard the paper filter and ground coffee. The filter
basket can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed
thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the
dishwasher. Dry all parts after washing.
Do not put any water in the unit once the filter
basket has been removed. Wipe the area under the
filter basket with a damp cloth.
Remove the carafe from the heating plate. Discard any
remaining coffee. The carafe and lid can be washed in
warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or placed in
a dishwasher. The carafe and carafe lid should be
placed on the upper rack only.
Do not use any scouring agents or harsh cleansers on
any part of the coffeemaker.
Never immerse base unit in water or other liquids. To
clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and
dry before storing. Fingerprints and other blemishes on
the housing can be washed off with soap and water or
a nonabrasive cleaning solution. Wipe heater plate with
a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive
materials or cleansers to clean the heater plate. Do not
dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint
may remain.
Maintenance: Any other servicing should be performed
by an authorized service representative.
DESCALING
Descaling refers to the removal of calcium deposits that
form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker.
To Descale Your Coffeemaker
Depending on the mineral content of water in your area,
calcium deposits (scale) may build up in your
coffeemaker. Though scale is not toxic, it can affect
performance. Descaling the coffeemaker when the
CLEAN indicator signals it is time to do so will help
protect the heating element and other parts that come
into contact with water.
For optimal performance, descale coffeemaker every 3
to 6 months. If calcium deposits build up faster, the
CLEAN light will illuminate, indicating 12-cup
coffeemaker should be descaled.
To clean:
1. Fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of
1⁄ white vinegar and
3
2. Rotate the Function knob to CLEAN and press the
CARAFE BREW button once. The cleaning process
will start, and the CLEAN LED light will fl ash
2
⁄ water.
3
3. When the cycle is completed, 5 beeps will sound
and the coffeemaker will shut off.
4. If the CLEAN indicator illuminates once more, repeat
the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of
vinegar and water.
NOTE: One cleaning cycle is usually suffi cient.
5. When the CLEAN indicator remains off, run one
cycle with a full reservoir of fresh, cold water to rinse
the unit.
6. Return the charcoal water fi lter to the holder
inside the water reservoir and your coffeemaker is
ready to brew!
NOTE: To stop the cleaning/descaling process,
simply rotate the Function knob to a different
position.
If the CLEAN indicator light turns on and you
wish to not descale now, rotate the Function
knob to the CLEAN function and press and hold
the ON/OFF button for two seconds. The CLEAN
indicator will turn off. However, the CLEAN
indicator will turn on again during subsequent
brewing cycles until the cleaning/descaling
procedure is complete.
