840153800 v02.qxd 7/5/06 3:15 PM Page 8 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS To maintain the performance of your coffeemaker, clean it once a month. Periodic cleaning removes mineral deposits that slow down brew time and result in bitter coffee taste. To Clean Inside of Coffeemaker using Cleaner and Descaler: I Remove water filter and water filter holder (optional feature). I Plug in and set the clock. I Place empty carafe on Keep-Hot Plate. Put the empty filter basket in place. Do not add coffee into filter basket. I Use any commercially-available coffeemaker cleaner and descaler intended for home use. Follow package directions. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse coffeemaker by brewing twice with water only. To order a cleaner, call: 1-800-851-8900 or online: hbaccessories.com NOTE: Commercially-available brands of descaler include CleanCaf.™ To Clean Inside of Coffeemaker using White Vinegar: I Remove water filter and water filter holder (optional feature).

The brewing light will glow. After 20 seconds, press the ON/OFF button to turn off. I Pour one pint of plain white vinegar into the reservoir. I Wait 20-30 minutes to allow the vinegar to clean. Then turn on again. When the brew cycle is finished, wait for unit to cool. I Empty carafe and rinse. Pour one carafe of cold tap water into the reservoir. Place carafe on Keep-Hot Plate I Press ON/OFF button once. When the brew cycle is complete, empty the carafe.
