holder (see “Optional Features”).
2. Make sure the filter basket is
empty.

into the reservoir.

and the indicator light will glow red.
After 30 seconds, turn OFF.
7. Wait 30 minutes to allow the vine-
gar to clean. Then turn ON again.

wait for unit to cool.

carafe of cold tap water into the
reservoir. Place carafe on Keep-Hot
Base.
9. Press ON/OFF button once. When
the brew cycle is complete, empty
the carafe. Allow the coffeemaker

one more carafe of cold tap water.
10. Wash carafe and filter basket
before making a beverage.
To Clean Carafe and Filter Basket:
1. Wash carafe by hand in hot, soapy
water. Do not submerse carafe in
water. Never wash carafe in dish-
washer. This carafe features a
unique drip-free spout and handle
which are not dishwasher-safe.
2. To remove the filter basket, open
filter lid and lift straight up by handle.
The filter basket may be washed by
hand or in the top rack of the dish-
washer.. To maintain performance,
clean the filter basket often.
To Clean Exterior of Coffeemaker:
Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth and
warm, soapy water. Do not use abra-
sive cleaners as they will scratch the
finish of the product.
To maintain the performance of your coffeemaker, clean your
coffeemaker once a month. Periodic cleaning removes mineral
deposits that slow down brew time and results in bitter coffee taste.
