Cleaning your coffee maker
Cleaning coffee maker parts
You should clean your coffee maker regularly.
1 Clean the carafe, funnel, and nylon filter after each use in hot sudsy water. You
can also wash these parts in a dishwasher.
2 Wipe the exterior surface of your coffee maker with a soft, damp cloth to
remove stains.
3 To prevent water from dripping into the base of your coffee maker, wipe off
the inside of the water tank lid after each use.
4 Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the warming plate. Never use abrasive
cleaner to clean it.
5 Reassemble all parts.
Removing mineral deposits
To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, you should periodically clean the
mineral deposits left by water. The frequency for cleaning depends on the water
quality in your area and how often you use your coffee maker.
1 Fill the tank with water and household descaler or vinegar (use a 4:1 solution)
to the maximum level indicated on the water gauge. You can also use citric
acid, with a dilution of 100 parts water to three parts citric acid.
2 Place the glass carafe on the warming plate. Make sure that the center of the
carafe aligns with the bottom of the funnel.
3 Make sure that the funnel is in place and that there is no dry coffee in the filter.
4 Turn on your coffee maker and let it “brew” the descaling solution.
5 After brewing about one cup of the solution, turn off your coffee maker and
let it sit for about 15 minutes, then repeat step 4.
6 Brew the descaling solution until the water tank is dry.
7 Rinse the coffee maker in water at least three times.
WARNING: To avoid electric shocks or damage to your coffee maker, always
unplug the power cord before cleaning. Make sure that all parts of your coffee
maker have cooled down completely.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not immerse the power cord or your coffee maker in water or any other
liquids.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads.
• Dry all parts thoroughly after cleaning, before using, or before storing your
coffee maker.
• Make sure that all parts and surfaces are completely dry before connecting
your coffee maker to a power outlet. Wet parts can cause an electric shock.
