Cleaning Your Coffeemaker:
Filter basket, carafe and lid.
Turn unit off and remove plug from outlet.

thoroughly, or clean in upper rack of dishwasher. Dry after use.

To clean base, wipe with damp cloth.
Do not use any scouring agents or harsh cleaners on any parts of the
coffeemaker. Never immerse base of unit in water.
Decalcification:
A flashing Clean light indicates unit needs to be decalcified. Fill the water reservoir to
capacity with 1/3 cup of white vinegar and 2/3 cup of water. Press the Clean button; when
light comes on, turn Coffeemaker on. Five beeps sound when Clean cycle is complete; unit
will shut off. Turn unit back on and if Clean light flashes, repeat process; if not, run a brew
cycle with water only. Unit is then ready to use
Cleaning Your Hot Water System:
We recommend you decalcify your hot water system twice a year.
Dispense any water in your reservoir until the Add Water light flashes. Add 32 ounces of
white vinegar. Dispense 16 ounces of vinegar and discard; this will fill the inner tank. Let unit
sit for 20 minutes, then turn to Off and allow hot vinegar to cool. Drain internal reservoir over
sink by removing water release tab on bottom of unit. When vinegar has completely drained,
replace tab. Refill reservoir with water and drain water as directed above. Unit is now ready
to use.
