4. Grasp the back of the coffee maker and tip the unit forward
over a sink at a 45 degree angle until the water begins to flow
out of the Shower Head.
5. Slowly top the coffee maker to a 90 degree angle, hold until
the flow of water stops.
NOTE: To ensure that your coffee maker will function properly
in the future do not tip the coffee maker beyond 90˚. The small
amount of water remaining in the coffee maker following this
procedure will evaporate in a few days time.
Care and Cleaning
Routine Cleaning
The Carafe, Carafe Lid and the Removable Filter should be rinsed
with water after each use.
Top rack dishwasher safe parts: the Carafe and Lid, the
Removable Filter and the Swing-Out Filter Holder.
A small amount of dishwashing liquid and water will remove most
fingerprints, grease, dirt and grime.
Occasionally, window cleaners, vinegar and water solutions,
standard non-abrasive kitchen cleaning fluids, or commercially
available cleaning products for stainless steel surfaces can be
used. After cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to dry and buff the
surface to a brilliant shine.
Descaling
We recommend that you descale your coffee maker once a month
because mineral deposits can form a coating in the coffee maker,
causing slower brewing time and possibly an off flavor in the
coffee. Use a cleaner recommended for coffee makers or the
solution described below. To descale your unit:
1. Turn the Power Switch to “Off”. Unplug the coffee maker
power cord from the power outlet.
2. Place the Swing-Out Filter Holder in position on the coffee
maker.
3. Place the Carafe on the Warming Plate.
4. Slowly pour 1 quart (32 fluid ounces) of undiluted white
household vinegar into the top of the coffee maker.
