Place the empty carafe back in the unit. 4. Press the CLEAN button to activate the Cleaning Function. a.

After 30 minutes, your coffeemaker will brew the remainder of the cleaning solution. 6. When complete, the CLEAN indicator light will turn off and your coffeemaker will turn off. 7. Discard the cleaning solution, paper filter (or rinse the permanent filter) and rinse the carafe and filter basket thoroughly with clean water. 8. Brew 2 full 10 cup cycles with clean water. Your coffeemaker is now clean and ready to brew the next pot of delicious, hot coffee! Water Filtration Disk Replacement Your water filtration disk will need to be replaced once a month (approx. 30 brew cycles). If the machine will not be in use for an extended period of time, rinse the water filter with running water and clean the coffeemaker before use. Cleaning the Thermal Carafe Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the carafe, and coffee may then turn this stain brown. To remove carafe stains: • Fill the carafe with a solution of equal parts water and vinegar and let the solution stand in the carafe for approximately 20 minutes. • Discard the solution, then wash and rinse the carafe. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners that may scratch the carafe. NOTE: Thermal carafe is not dishwasher safe. TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR MR.
