MINERAL DEPOSITS AND CLOGGING
SERVICE OR REPAIR
For service, repair, or any questions regarding your appliance, call the
“800” number on the cover of this book. Do NOT return the product to
the place of purchase. Do NOT mail the product back to the manufacturer
nor bring it to a service center.
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your Coffeemaker. Excessive
steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle are signs that a cleaning is
needed. The frequency of flushing out deposits is affected by your usage
and water hardness. During cleaning, more steaming occurs than when
brewing coffee and there may be some spitting.
1. Pour white vinegar into the Water Reservoir so that it comes about half
way up. Add cold water up to JUST BELOW the MAX Fill Line.
2. Put a paper filter in the Filter Basket and close the Cover. Set the empty
Carafe on the “Keeps Hot” Plate.
3. Turn the Coffeemaker on and let about half the cleaning solution brew
into the Carafe (this will only take a minute or two). Turn the
Coffeemaker OFF and let it soak for at least 15 minutes to soften the
deposits.
4. Turn the Coffeemaker ON and brew the remaining cleaning solution into
the Carafe.
To order a replacement or additional
carafe, call 1-800-258-6003.
5. Press “Off” when done, empty the Carafe, and discard the soiled filter.
6. Fill the Reservoir with cold water to the MAX Fill Line, replace the
empty Carafe, then turn on the Coffeemaker for a complete brew cycle
to flush out the remaining cleaning solution. You may have to repeat
this to eliminate the vinegar smell/taste.
7. Discard the paper filter. Wash the Filter Basket and Carafe as instructed
in “Cleaning Your Coffeemaker.”
