CARE A ND CLEANING

- All servicing, other than cleaning, should be performed by an authorized service representative. See Warranty section.
Descaling
Over a period of time, minerals and calcium found in water will accumulate in
your Coffee Maker and may affect its operation. The appliance should be
cleaned approximately every six months, depending on water conditions. Use
distilled vinegar in the following manner to remove the mineral deposits.
- Fill the Water Reservoir to the maximum Water Line (10) with equal parts of white vinegar and cold water. Close the Lid.
- Place the Filter Holder and Permanent Filter Holder into position.
- Place the Carafe with Lid on the Warming Plate.
- Press the ON/OFF Button once and the Coffee Maker will start.
- Let the whole quantity of the vinegar/water solution run through the machine, then turn the Coffee Maker off by pressing the ON/OFF Button. (The red On Indicator Light will turn off.)
- Repeat the above steps using cold water to rinse away any residual vinegar. Repeat twice.
HELPFUL HINTS
- Regularly clean the Coffee Maker to ensure great tasting coffee. Follow the directions in the Care & Cleaning Section.
- Store unused ground coffee in a cool dry place. After opening a package of ground coffee reseal it tightly and store in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
- For optimum coffee taste buy whole coffee beans and grind them just before brewing.
- Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.
A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
