Cleaning Instructions After Initial Use
Your Coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive steaming or the
brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a buildup of lime and
mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water
has been pumped out of the machine, then the appliance requires cleaning.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The following table
gives suggested cleaning intervals.
SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVAL
Type of Water Cleaning Frequency
Soft Water Every 80 Brew Cycles
Hard Water Every 40 Brew Cycles
Your Coffeemaker may be cleaned by using MR. COFFEE
®
CLEANER or vinegar. For best
results, use MR. COFFEE
®
CLEANER, it is superior to vinegar and has no unpleasant odor.
Using MR. COFFEE
®
CLEANER
(Read caution statement on side panel of MR. COFFEE
®
CLEANER box before use.)
1) Fill the decanter with 4 to 5 decanter cups of warm water.
2) Empty contents of one packet of MR. COFFEE
®
CLEANER into the decanter and
stir with a plastic or wooden spoon until the cleaner is completely dissolved.
This will make a clear blue solution.
3) Pour the blue solution into the water reservoir.
4) Place the empty decanter on the warming plate. The lid access filter basket
should be closed.
5) Turn your Coffeemaker on by pushing the switch to the ON position so that
the switch illuminates.
6) When the blue solution has stopped flowing, turn your Coffeemaker off by pushing
the switch to the OFF position.
7) Discard the blue solution and thoroughly rinse the decanter, decanter lid,
filter basket and filter basket lid.
8)
Repeat Steps 1 through 7 with clean water only (no blue solution). Continue
to rinse out the unit until you see no remaining traces of the blue solution.
9) If a normal brewing flow rate is not achieved, repeat cleaning Steps No. 1
through No. 8.
