CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Always turn coffeemaker off and remove
the plug from the electrical outlet before
cleaning.
Lift up the coffeemaker lid. 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
use.
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 heating
plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use
rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean
the heating 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.
DECALCIFICATION
Decalcification refers to the removal of
calcium deposits that form over time on the
metal parts of your coffeemaker. The mineral
content of the tap water in your area and the
frequency of use affects the rate of the calci-
um buildup, which can affect the
functioning of your coffeemaker and the
flavour of your coffee.
For best performance from your PerfecTemp
®
coffeemaker, we recommend cleaning it
whenever the CLEAN LED indicator lights up
.
NOTE: Before decalcifying your unit, remove
the charcoal water filter from the water
reservoir.
To clean:
1. Fill the water reservoir to capacity with a
mixture of
1
⁄3 white vinegar and
2
⁄3 water.
2. Press and hold the CLEAN button. When
the CLEAN LED indicator flashes, the
coffeemaker is in Clean mode. Release the
button.
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 sufficient.
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 filter to the holder
inside the water reservoir and your
coffeemaker is ready to brew!
Brew Pause
™
Feature
This feature interrupts the flow of coffee from
the basket to let you pour that first cup
mid-brew. Because the flavour profile of
coffee brewed at the start of a cycle differs
from that brewed toward the end, be aware
that using this feature will weaken the flavour
strength of the finished pot.
NOTE: Removing carafe for more than
20 seconds during brew cycle may cause
filter basket to overflow.
