MAINTAINING YOUR COFFEEMAKER

Maintaining your Coffeemaker and its parts will help extend the life of the appliance.
Your Coffeemaker must be cleaned when you notice any of the following conditions:
• Excessive steaming
• Increased brew cycle times
• The pumping action stops before all of the water has been pumped from the
Water Reservoir
These conditions are caused by lime or other mineral deposits most commonly found in
tap water.
How frequently you clean your Coffeemaker depends upon the hardness of your tap
water. The following table gives suggested cleaning intervals
Type of Water
Soft water
Hard water
To clean your Coffeemaker with vinegar:
1) Pour four cups of undiluted white household vinegar into the Water Reservoir.
2) Place a paper filter into the Removable Filter Insert and close the Brew Basket.
3) Place the empty Decanter on the Warming Plate. Make sure to fully place the
Decanter on the Warming Plate to avoid the possibility of overflow.
4) Start the brew cycle, See Page 6 for "Brewing Coffee"
