vinegar into the water reservoir.

fi nished, discard contents in carafe. Remove carafe from unit and
fi ll with 12 cups cold water. Pour water into the water reservoir and
repeat brewing cycle. Once brewing cycle is fi nished, switch unit to
“OFF”, unplug from the wall and discard contents in carafe.
4. Clean carafe and fi lter with hot, soapy water, with a soft brush; rinse
clean and dry.
5. When the unit has cooled, clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Your
unit is now clean and ready to brew.
