CLEANING WITH VINEGAR
Note: With regular use, minerals and hard water can clog your coffeemaker.
A full cleaning with vinegar is recommended once a month.
1. Pour white vinegar into water reservoir up to the 6-cup mark on the water
window. Add cold water up to the 12-cup mark.
2. Put a paper filter in brew basket and close cover. Set empty carafe on the carafe plate.
3. Turn on coffeemaker. Let half the cleaning mixture brew into carafe (until level
is around 5). Turn off coffeemaker and let it soak for at least 15 minutes
4. Turn on coffeemaker again and brew remaining cleaning mixture into carafe.
Turn off coffeemaker; empty carafe and discard paper filter.
5. Fill reservoir with cold water to 12-cup mark; replace carafe on carafe plate and
then turn on coffeemaker for a complete brewing cycle to flush out remaining
cleaning mixture. You may want to repeat this step to completely remove the
vinegar smell/taste.
6. Wash brew basket and carafe as instructed in CLEANING.
