LEANING

Your Coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive steaming orthe
brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a build-up oflimeand
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.

S

UGGESTEDCLEANINGINTERVAL

Type of Water Cleaning Frequency
Soft Water Every 80 Brew Cycles
Hard Water Every 40 Brew Cycles

Your Coffeemaker may be cleaned by using M

minute into the brew cycle, the electronic controls will determine if the Coffeemaker needs
cleaning. If it does, the CLEAN Indicator Light will flash. If the CLEAN Indicator Light
flashes, clean the Coffeemaker before the next brew cycle. Failure to clean the Coffeemaker
when indicated could result in excessive steaming and increased brewing time. To clean,

follow Steps 1 – 4 in the “Cleaning” Section, then press the “SELECT” button three times.

LEANING THEDECANTER

DECANTER AND LID ARE TOP-RACK DISHWASHER SAFE

Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the decanter. Coffee and tea discolor
these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the decanter. To remove these
stains, follow these easy steps.

1. Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.

2. Let solution stand in decanter for about 20 minutes. Discard.

3.

Wash and rinse decanter thoroughly using soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.
These may cause scratches and can lead to breakage.
