grounds and paper filter. Remove carafe and pour out any remaining coffee. The permanent filter, filter basket, carafe and lid can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after every use. If you forget to empty the filter basket after brewing, EMPTY will appear in the display and the machine will not operate. Open the filter basket door, empty the basket, and close the door. The message will disappear and your coffeemaker is ready to use. TO CLEAN GRINDER OF COFFEE BEANS 1. Remove hopper cover. 2. Scoop out remaining beans from the hopper. 3. Place the clean, dry filter basket assembly in place (a paper filter can be used if desired). 4. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the coffeemaker on. 5. Press and hold down the Brew button until the coffeemaker begins to grind the beans. 6. After grinding stops, be sure to turn coffeemaker off. 7. Dispose of or re-purpose coffee grinds in filter basket. 8. Use a damp cloth to clean the hopper. 9. Leave the cover off to let the hopper dry completely before adding coffee beans. NOTE: Before decalcifying your coffeemaker, remember to remove the charcoal water filter from the water filter holder located in the water reservoir. To decalcify your coffeemaker, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of 1⁄3 white vinegar and 2⁄3 water. Turn on the coffeemaker and press the Program button 2 times to enter CLEAN mode. Hold down the Program button until the CLEAN icon begins to flash. Press the Brew button to begin the clean cycle. One cycle should be sufficient to clean your coffeemaker. NOTE: The CLEAN icon will continue to flash until the cycle is complete. When the cycle is completed and the 5 beeps sound, press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit off. If the CLEAN icon remains on the LCD display, repeat the operation once more, using only fresh cold water. MAINTENANCE Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative. DECALCIFICATION The decalcification process removes 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 will depend upon the hardness of your tap water and frequency of use. The CLEAN indicator will flash in the display when the coffeemaker is turned on, signaling that it is time to decalcify the unit. 11
