USING VINEGAR:
1. Pour l quart of undiluted white household vinegar into your coffeemaker.
2. Place a filter into the black filter basket and close the swivel basket.
3. Place the empty decanter on the warming plate and turn the cof-
feemaker on. When three cups have flowed through, turn the cof-
feemaker off and let stand for l/2 hour.
4. After l/2 hour, pour the 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.
6. Discard the vinegar and the paper filter.
7. To flush out all traces of vinegar, pour a decanter full of tap water
into the coffeemaker, turn it on, and allow it all to cycle through.
8. Discard the water and turn the coffeemaker off. Repeat steps 7 and 8.
Decanter Cleaning
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the decanter.
Coffee and tea discolor these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish
stain inside the decanter. To remove these stains, follow these simple
steps:
1. Use a hot white vinegar solution and let it soak.
2. Let it stand for about 20 minutes and then discard.
3. Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use
harsh abrasive cleaners. These will cause scratches which can lead
to breakage.
