CIeaning Instructions
Your coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive steaming or the
brewing time increases considerably. This condition Is caused by a buildup of lime and
mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water has
been pumped out of the machine, then the appliance requires cleaning.
The frequency of cleaning,depends on the hardness of water used. The following table
gives the suggested cleaning intervals.

Pour one quart of undiluted white household vinegar into your coffeemaker.
2.
Place a paper filter into the filter basket and slide the filter basket into place.
3.

When three cups have flowed through, turn the coffeemaker OFF and let stand
for 11/2 hour.
4.
After 1/2 hour, pour the vinegar back into the coffeemaker.
5.
Place the empty decanter on the warming plate. Turn the coffeemaker ON
and let
all of the vinegar flow through.
6.
Discard the vinegar and the paper filter.
7.
To flush out all traces of vinegar, pour a decanter full of tap water into the
coffeemaker, turn it ON, and allow it all to cycle through.
6.
Discard the water and turn the coffeemaker OFF. Repeat steps 7 and 8.
