OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the Coffee Maker
Select a level flat surface to place the

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the Coffee Maker To Make
Tea

carafe has been completely cleaned in
warm soapy water, especially if it was used
to make coffee previously.
1. Depress the filter basket door release
button to swing open the filter door.

the right amount of water depending on
serving needs.

carafe to steep the tea.
To Remove Calcium Build Up from
the Coffee Maker
Calcium deposits may build up in the
coffee maker as a result of minerals
commonly found in drinking water. The
build up is normal and may result in a
slow down on the coffee maker’s brewing
time, or the taste of the coffee. The slow
down can be eliminated by periodically
decalcifying the coffee maker.
1. Fill the carafe with cold water and two
tablespoons of plain white household
vinegar.
2. Pour the solution into the water
reservoir, then close the reservoir
cover.
3. Place the carafe on the warming plate
and allow the coffee maker to brew the
vinegar solution.
4. Do not use a filter when decalcifying.
5. When the vinegar solution has finished
brewing, empty the carafe and rinse
out with cold water.
6. Refill the illuminated water reservoir
with cold water only and run another
brew cycle to remove any remaining
vinegar solution.
To Remove Calcium Build-up from
Carafe
Hard water or repeated use can leave a
white stain on the carafe, which will turn
brown from the coffee or tea. To clean the
carafe:
1. Fill the carafe with a solution of equal
parts of tap water and vinegar and let
the carafe stand with the solution for
20-30 minutes.
2. Use a soft brush to brush the inside of
the carafe to further loosen the build
up.
3. Discard the solution and wash the
carafe with warm soapy water then
rinse well.
NOTE: Frequency of cleaning required
depends on frequency of use and
cleaning between brews.
SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVALS:
Type of Water Cleaning Frequency
Soft Water: After 80 brews
Hard Water: After 40 brews
Cleaning the Coffee Maker
CAUTION: Always make sure the coffee
maker is unplugged and warming plate
is cool before attempting to clean. To
protect against electric shock, do not
immerse cord, plug or unit into water or
other liquids.
1. The outside of the coffee maker can be
cleaned with a damp, soft cloth.
2. The glass carafe, carafe lid and
removable filter basket may be washed
with warm, soapy water or placed in the
top rack of the dishwasher. Do not
place any other parts of the coffee
maker in the dishwasher.
3. To clean the permanent filter, empty the
grounds and rinse thoroughly.
4. DO NOT clean the inside of the water
reservoir with a cloth as the cloth may
have a lint residue that could block the
coffee maker.
5. For stubborn stains, use a nylon or
plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleaner,
Do not use metal scouring pads or
abrasive cleansers.
