CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Always turn coffeemaker OFF and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning. Lift up the reservoir cover. Remove and discard the filter and ground coffee. WARNING Caution: The reservoir contains hot coffee. Allow to cool before lifting. Remove the brew basket and coffee reservoir. These can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after use. Do not put any water in the unit once the filter basket and coffee reservoir have been removed. Wipe the area under the reservoir with a damp cloth. Remove drip tray and wash with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly, or place in a dishwasher. Do not use any scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker. Never immerse base unit in water or other liquid. To clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing. Fingerprints and other blemishes on the stainless steel housing can be washed off with soap and water or a nonabrasive cleaning solution. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the warming plate. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain. DECALCIFICATION Decalcification refers to removing the calcium deposits which form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker. For best performance from your coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit from time to time. The frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the coffeemaker. To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of 1⁄3 white vinegar and 2⁄3 water. Turn the coffeemaker on by turning the ON/OFF knob. One cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean the coffeemaker. When 9 the cycle is completed and the five beeps sound, turn coffeemaker off. Repeat operation, this time using fresh cold water.
