COFFEE® permanent filter into the filter basket and close lid. 3. Place the empty decanter back in the unit, centered on the warming plate. 4. Brew three cups of cleaning solution through the coffeemaker. 5. Turn the coffeemaker off and let stand for 30 minutes. 6. Run the remainder of the cleaning solution through the coffeemaker. 7.

COFFEE® permanent filter was used during cleaning, remove it and rinse it thoroughly before replacing it in the filter basket. 11. Begin brewing and allow the full brew cycle to complete. 12. Repeat Steps 8 through 11 one more time. Your coffeemaker is now clean and ready to brew the next pot of delicious, hot coffee! Suggested Decalcifying Interval: Type of Water Cleaning Frequency Soft Water Every 80 Brew Cycles Hard Water Every 40 Brew Cycles 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. NOTE: Do not place thermal carafe in the dishwasher.
