Maintaining Your Coffeemaker
Maintaining your Coffeemaker and its parts will help extend the life of the appliance.
Cleaning the Coffeemaker
Your Coffeemaker must be cleaned when you notice any of the follow conditions:
• cleaning cycle indicator light is blinking during normal brew mode
(Models URTX83, URTX84 and URTX85 only)
• excessive steaming
• increased brew cycle times
• the pumping action stops before all of the water has been pumped from
the water reservoir
These conditions are caused by lime or other mineral deposits.
How frequently you clean your Coffeemaker depends upon the hardness of your
tap water. The following table gives suggested cleaning intervals.
To clean mineral deposits from your Coffeemaker:
1) Pour four cups of dissolved MR. COFFEE ® Cleaner or undiluted
white household vinegar into the water reservoir.
2) Place a paper filter into the removable filter insert and close the brew basket lid.
3) Place the empty thermal carafe on the base.
Make sure to center the thermal
carafe squarely on the base to
avoid the possibility of overflow.
4) Start the cleaning cycle for models:
• UNT83, URT83, URT84 and URT85
a. Press the BREW NOW button.
b. As soon as the brew cycle is complete
and the Coffeemaker turns off, pour
dissolved MR. COFFEE
® Cleaner or
vinegar back into the reservoir and
allow to stand for 30 minutes while
the unit is “off.”
c. After 30 minutes, place the empty carafe back
on the base. Turn the Coffeemaker back on to
let all of the dissolved MR. COFFEE
® Cleaner or
vinegar flow through.
d. When the cleaning cycle is complete, discard
both the dissolved MR. COFFEE ® Cleaner or
vinegar and the paper filter.
For Models:
• URTX83, URTX84 and URTX85
1) Press the “Clean Cycle” button.
For convenience, everything is automatic!
The entire cycle will take approximately
45 minutes to complete. During the
cleaning cycle your coffeemaker will:
a. Slow brew approximately 3 cups
(24 fluid ounces) of cleaner.
b. Pause for 30 minutes to allow time
for the cleaning solution to dissolve
mineral buildup inside the coffeemaker.
During this time the clean light will
stay on to alert you that the cleaning
process is active.
c. After the pause, your coffeemaker
will sound three audible beeps
then restart and brew the remainder
of the cleaning solution.
d. When complete, the clean light
will extinguish and your coffeemaker
will automatically turn off.
2) Discard the cleaning solution and rinse
the decanter thoroughly with clean water.
3) Fill the water reservoir with clean, fresh water.
4) Place the empty decanter on the warming plate.
