CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING

  • Be sure the unit is unplugged and has cooled.
  • Wash the removable parts in the top rack of the dishwasher or wash by hand in hot water with dish detergent.
  • Wipe the appliance’s exterior surface, control panel and carafe plate with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. Never immerse the coffeemaker in water.

AUTO CLEAN® SYSTEM

De-scaling With Auto Clean™
Over time, calcium deposits or “scale” may build up in your brewer. Scale is non-toxic but if left unattended will hinder brewer performance and cause premature failure. Regularly de-scaling your brewer helps to maintain quality coffee as well as the lifespan of the heating element, and other internal parts that come in contact with water throughout the brew process.
To make the de-scaling process as effortless as possible, an Auto Clean™ system has been programmed into your coffeemaker.

When should I use Auto Clean™?
You should clean your coffeemaker after every 60 brews (approximately 2 months). After 60 brews, the clean warning will be activated, and display
at the beginning of each brew cycle. “CLEAN” will scroll across the display three times to remind you to clean the coffeemaker.
If you would like to clean your coffeemaker prior to 60 brew cycles because of hard water, you may do so.

How do I use Auto Clean™?
Follow the simple steps below. Your coffeemaker will take care of the rest.

  1. Combine 6 cups of white vinegar and 4 cups of cold water in carafe.
  2. Pour into water reservoir.
  3. Make sure the lid of the carafe is in place and place empty carafe on the carafe plate.
  4. Press and Hold the On/Off button for 4 seconds
  5. On/Off Button LED illuminates (no blinking)
  6. “CLEAN” scrolls through the display continuously and the Auto-Clean cycle begins.

During the Auto-Clean Cycle Function:

  1. Machine will brew approximately 5 cups of cleaning solution

  2. Part of the mixture will brew through. Remaining mixture will be held in coffeemaker for 30 minutes before completing its brew through.

  3. Machine will continue brewing remainder of cleaning solution
    Note: The entire cleaning cycle will take 45–60 minutes to complete.

  4. When the coffeemaker completes the AUTO CLEAN cycle, it shuts off automatically.

  5. Brew fresh water through appliance following instructions given in GETTING STARTED before brewing coffee again.

FAQ’S

What is the difference between this model and the model without a clock?

How do I clean the carafe?

The carafe can be washed in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher.

How do I clean the drip tray?

The drip tray can be cleaned in warm soapy water or put in the dishwasher.

How do I clean the exterior of my coffeemaker?

The exterior of your coffeemaker can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

How do I set my coffeemaker to turn on automatically?

Your coffeemaker has a 24-hour programmable feature that allows you to set it to turn on and off at specific times each day. Please refer to page 9 for more information on setting your coffeemaker to turn on automatically.

Your coffeemaker has a 24-hour programmable feature that allows you to set it to turn on and off at specific times each day. Please refer to page 9 for more information on setting your coffeemaker to brew at a specific time.

What does “clean” mean when it appears on my display?

“Clean” means that your coffeemaker needs cleaning. Refer to page 11 for instructions on how to clean your coffeemaker.

Do Black and Decker coffee makers turn off automatically?

BLACK+DECKER 12-Cup Programmable Black Drip Coffee Maker with Glass Carafe, Built-In Timer and Automatic Shut-Off DCM100B – The Home Depot.

How much coffee do I put in a 12 cup coffee maker?

12-24 tablespoons
To fill a standard 12-cup coffeemaker, you will need 12-24 tablespoons (or between 3/4 and 1 1/2 cups) of ground coffee. This will yield 12 6-ounce servings, or about 6 standard 12-ounce mugs of coffee. For a smaller pot, simply scale the ratio down. Since water makes up the majority of coffee, quality matters.

Why does my Black and Decker coffee maker keep saying clean?

After 60 brews, the clean warning will be activated, and display at the beginning of each brew cycle. “CLEAN” will scroll across the display three times to remind you to clean the coffeemaker. If you would like to clean your coffeemaker prior to 60 brew cycles because of hard water, you may do so.

Do coffee machines use a lot of electricity?

Yes. Coffee makers are considered energy guzzlers. At 1.32kWh of electricity consumed per hour (at max), the average coffee maker consumes a lot of electricity compared to other household appliances.

What happens if you don’t use a coffee filter?

Although it is possible to use the coffee maker without a coffee filter, this can potentially be harmful. Coffee filters remove certain oils known as “diterpenes.” Some studies have shown that these oils can be harmful. Additionally, coffee grounds can cause clogs and water overflow.

How do I set the digital clock on my Black and Decker coffee maker?

Plug in the coffee maker and press the HOUR and MIN buttons until the correct time appears on the display.

Can I use distilled water in my coffee maker?

It is not recommended to use distilled water as it lacks the minerals necessary to bind to elements of coffee. It is recommended to use spring water or filtered water instead.

How do I use the Sneak-A-Cup® feature on my coffee maker?

Remove the carafe and brewing is paused. The carafe must be placed back on the carafe plate in 30 seconds to prevent overflow. Brewing begins again.

How do I clean my Black and Decker coffee maker?

Wash removable parts as instructed in CARE AND CLEANING. Clean the inside of your coffeemaker by running two full brewing cycles with water only, no coffee. Do not clean carafe with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive material.

Can I use an extension cord with my coffee maker?

Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

How do I set the brew later function on my coffee maker?

Press the BREW LATER button and use HOUR and MIN buttons to set BREW LATER time. Press the BREW LATER button again to set the BREW LATER time or the coffeemaker will automatically set itself after 4 seconds with no button pressed.

Can I use my coffee maker outdoors?

No, the coffee maker is not intended for outdoor use.

How long does the keep warm function last on my coffee maker?

The hot plate remains in “keep warm” mode for 2 hours (120 minutes) following the brew cycle. After 2 hours have passed, the heater turns off and the ON/OFF ( ) light turns off.

Can I use accessories not recommended by the manufacturer with my coffee maker?

No, the use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

What should I do if my coffee maker malfunctions or is damaged?
