CLEANING WITH VINEGAR
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning is recommended once a month.

1. Pour white vinegar into the water reservoir up to the 6-cup line on the water level window. Add water up to the 10-cup line.
   Caution: Be careful not to exceed the 12-cup maximum level, to avoid water running out the overflow hole in the back of the coffeemaker.

   carafe on the “Keep Hot” carafe plate.

3. Turn on the coffeemaker and let half the cleaning solution brew into the carafe (until the water level goes down to around the 5-cup line on the water level window).
   Turn the coffeemaker off and let it soak for at least 15 minutes to soften the deposits.

4. Turn on the coffeemaker and brew the remaining cleaning solution into the carafe.

5. Turn off the coffeemaker, empty the carafe and discard the filter.

6. Fill the reservoir with fresh water to the 12-cup line, and replace the empty carafe on the “Keep
   Hot” the carafe plate and then turn on the coffeemaker for a complete brew cycle to flush out the remaining cleaning solution. You may wish to repeat this step again to eliminate any remaining vinegar smell/taste.
