Cleaning Instructions
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.

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.
