Descaling
Special cleaning of your Coffeemaker is recommended at least
once a month, depending on frequency of use and quality of water
used in the unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the follow-
ing cleaning procedure should be performed every two weeks,
since minerals in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee and
possibly lengthen brew time.

water. Pour water and vinegar solution into the Water Cham-
ber.
2. Place a paper filter or permanent filter in the Removable Filter
Basket and swing to closed position. Place Glass Carafe on
Warming Plate. Switch Power Select Button to on. During

FULL. Switch Power Select Button to off. When liquid stops
dripping from Filter Holder into the Glass Carafe, remove the

Carafe for 10 minutes. When cooled, pour liquid back into the
Water Chamber.

by brewing a Glass Carafe full of cold water. Make sure to insert
a fresh Filter into the Filter Basket before brewing.
