REGULAR CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Decalcifying your coffeemaker
Minerals (calcium/limestone) found in water will leave deposits in your coffeemaker and
will affect it. It’s recommended that you regularly remove these deposits by using
vinegar.
NOTE: 4 cups of 20 fl.oz. of undiluted, white household vinegar may be used.
1. Place the permanent filter or an empty 10-12 cup basket-style paper filter into the
filter basket and close.
2. Place the empty decanter back in the unit, centered on the warmer plate.
3. Brew three cups of vinegar through the coffeemaker.
4. Turn the coffeemaker off and let stand for 30 minutes.
5. Run the remainder vinegar through the coffeemaker.
6. Discard the vinegar and rinse the decanter thoroughly with clean water.
7. Fill the water reservoir with clean, fresh water.
8. Place the empty decanter back on the coffeemaker, centered on the warmer plate.
9. Remove the permanent filter was used during the cleaning, remove it and rinse it
thoroughly before replacing it in the filter basket. If a paper filter was used, remove
and discard it.
10. Begin brewing and allow the full brew cycle to complete.
11. Repeat Steps 7 through 10 one more time.
Your coffeemaker is now clean and ready to brew the next pot of delicious, hot coffee!
Cleaning the Decanter
Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter, and coffee may then turn this
stain brown.

To remove decanter stains:
1. Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts water and vinegar and let the solution
stand in the decanter for approximately 30 minutes.

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners that may scratch the decanter, scratches may
cause the decanter to break.
