COFFEE® permanent filter was used during cleaning, remove it and rinse it thoroughly before replacing it in the filter basket. 9. Begin brewing and allow the full brew cycle to complete. 10.Repeat steps 5 through 9 one more time. Suggested Decalcifying Interval The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of the water used. The following table gives a suggested cleaning schedule. Type of Water Cleaning Frequency Soft Water Every 80 Brew Cycles Hard Water Every 40 Brew Cycles or when red light is flashing (programmable models). 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 Decanter Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter, and coffee may then turn this stain brown. To remove decanter stains: 1. Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts water and vinegar and let the solution stand in the decanter for approximately 20 minutes. 2. Discard the solution, then wash and rinse the decanter. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners that may scratch the decanter, scratches may cause the decanter to break. 19
