Cleaning Instructions  
Your coffeemaker  
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.  
SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVAL  
Type of Water

Cleaning Frequency  
every 80 brew cycles  
every 40 brew cycles

gar and has no unpleasant odor.

Using Vinegar:  
1. Fill the decanter to the 4 cup marking with undiluted white household  
vinegar. Pour the vinegar into your coffeemaker.  
2. Place a filter into the filter basket and slide into place.  
3. Place the empty decanter on the warmer plate and turn the coffee-  
maker ON. When three cups have flowed through, turn the coffee-  
maker OFF and let stand for 1/2 hour.  
4. Turn the coffeemaker on and let all of the vinegar flow through.  
5. Discard the vinegar and the paper filter.

into the coffeemaker, turn it ON, and allow it all to cycle through.

6 and 7.  
Decanter Cleaning  
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 simple steps:  
1. Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.  
2. Let solution stand in decanter for about 20 minutes and then discard.  
3. Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use  
harsh abrasive cleaners. These will cause scratches which can lead  
to breakage.
