Cleaning Is A Must

Your coffeemaker

be delimed when you begin to notice an

increase in steaming. If the pumping action stops before all the

water has been pumped out of the machine, then the appliance

requires deliming.

The frequency of cleaning depends upon the hardness of water

used. The following table gives the recommended cleaning

intervals.

RECOMMENDED CLEANING SCHEDULE

Type of Water

Cleaning Frequency

Soft water

every

brew cycles

Hard

water every 40 brew cycles

Your coffeemaker may be delimed by using MR. COFFEE

CLEANER@ or vinegar. For best results, use MR. COFFEE

CLEANER. It works better than 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 4-5 cups of warm water.

2. Empty contents of one packet of MR. COFFEE CLEANER into

the decanter and stir until the cleaner is completely dissolved.

This will make a clear blue solution.

3. Pour the blue solution into the coffeemaker.

4. Place the empty decanter on the warming plate and slide the

brew funnel into place.

CAUTION: The special PAUSE ‘n SERVE decanter lid’ must

be on the decanter at all times. This lid controls the flow of

liquids into the decanter. If it is not in place, the cleaning

solution will overflow in the brew funnel onto the warming

plate.

5. Turn your coffeemaker on.

6. When the blue solution has stopped flowing, turn your

coffeemaker off.

7. Discard the blue solution and thoroughly rinse the decanter

and brew funnel.

8. Repeat steps l-7 with clean water only (no blue solution).

9. Continue to rinse out the unit until you see no trace of the

blue solution.

10. If a normal brewing flow rate is not achieved, repeat the

cleaning steps 1-9.

Using vinegar:

1. Pour 1 quart of undiluted white household vinegar into your

coffeemaker.

2. Put a paper filter into the brew funnel. Slide the brew funnel

back into place and place the empty decanter on the warming

plate.

CAUTION: The special PAUSE ‘n SERVE decanter lid must

be on the decanter at all times. This lid controls the flow of

liquids into the decanter. If it is not in place, the cleaning

solution will overflow in the brew funnel onto the warming

plate.

3. Turn the coffeemaker on. Watch the cup markings as the

vinegar flows into the decanter. When three cups have flowed

through, turn the coffeemaker off, and let stand for

l/2

hour.

4. After

l/2

hour, pour the 3 cups of vinegar back into the

coffeemaker.

5. Place the empty decanter on the warming plate. Turn the

coffeemaker on and let all of the vinegar flow through.

Turn the coffeemaker off and discard the vinegar and the paper

filter.
