CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Always turn coffeemaker off and remove
the plug from the electrical outlet before
cleaning.
Lift up the coffeemaker lid. Remove and
discard the paper filter and ground coffee.
The filter basket 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 has been removed. Wipe the
area under the filter basket with a damp
cloth.
Remove the carafe from the heating plate.
Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and
lid can be washed in warm, soapy water and
rinsed thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher.
The carafe and carafe lid should be placed
on the upper rack only.
Do not use any scouring agents or harsh
cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker.
Never immerse base unit in water or other
liquids. To clean base, simply wipe with a
clean, damp cloth and dry before storing.
Fingerprints and other blemishes on the
housing can be washed off with soap and
water or a nonabrasive cleaning solution.
Wipe heating plate with a clean, damp cloth.
Never use rough, abrasive materials or
cleansers to clean the heating plate. Do not
dry the inside of the water reservoir with a
cloth, as lint may remain.
Maintenance
Any other servicing should be performed by
an authorized service representative.
DECALCIFICATION
Decalcification refers to the removal of cal-
cium deposits that form over time on the
metal parts of your coffeemaker. The mineral
content of the tap water in your area and
the frequency of use affects the rate of the
calcium buildup, which can affect the func-
tioning of your coffeemaker and the flavor of
your coffee.
For best performance from your PerfecTemp
®
coffeemaker, we recommend cleaning it
whenever the CLEAN LED indicator lights up
.
NOTE: Before decalcifying your unit, remove
the charcoal water filter from the water
reservoir.
To clean:
1. Fill the water reservoir to capacity with a
mixture of
1
⁄3 white vinegar and
2
⁄3 water.
2. Press and hold the CLEAN button. When
the CLEAN LED indicator flashes, the
coffeemaker is in Clean mode. Release
the button.
3. When the cycle is completed, 5 beeps will
sound and the coffeemaker will shut off.
4. If the CLEAN indicator illuminates once
more, repeat the cleaning procedure with
a fresh solution of vinegar and water.
NOTE: One cleaning cycle is usually
sufficient.
5. When the CLEAN indicator remains off,
run one cycle with a full reservoir of fresh,
cold water to rinse the unit.
6. Return the charcoal water filter to the
holder inside the water reservoir and your
coffeemaker is ready to brew!
Brew Pause
™
Feature
This feature interrupts the flow of coffee
from the basket to let you pour that first
cup mid-brew. Because the flavor profile
of coffee brewed at the start of a cycle
differs from that brewed toward the end,
be aware that using this feature will
weaken the flavor strength of the
finished pot.
NOTE: Removing carafe for more than
20 seconds during brew cycle may
cause filter basket to overflow.
