Descaling
Over a period of time, minerals and calcium found in water will
accumulate in your Coee Maker and may aect its operation. The
appliance should be cleaned approximately every six months,
depending on water conditions. Use distilled vinegar in the following
manner to remove the mineral deposits.
1. Fill the Water Reservoir to the maximum Water Line (10) with equal
parts of white vinegar and cold water. Close the Lid.
2. Place the Filter Holder and Permanent Filter Holder into position.
3. Place the Carafe with Lid on the Warming Plate.
4. Press the ON/OFF Button once and the Coee Maker will start.
5. Let the whole quantity of the vinegar/water solution run through the
machine, then turn the Coee Maker o by pressing the ON/OFF
Button. (The red On Indicator Light will turn o.)
6. Repeat the above steps using cold water to rinse away any residual
vinegar. Repeat twice.
HELPFUL HINTS
1. Regularly clean the Coee Maker to ensure great tasting coee.
Follow the directions in the Care & Cleaning Section.
2. Store unused ground coee in a cool dry place. After opening a
package of ground coee reseal it tightly and store in the refrigerator
to maintain its freshness.
3. For optimum coee taste buy whole coee beans and grind them
just before brewing.
4. Reheating coee is not recommended. Coee is at its peak avor
immediately after brewing.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used
if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If
the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that
it will not drape over the counter top or table top, where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over.
