1.  Remove the brew basket and carafe 

from the Coffee Maker.

2.  Wash the brew basket and gold tone 

permanent filter in hot, soapy water 
and rinse with hot water. Do not use 
abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. 
These parts can also be washed in the 
upper rack of a dishwasher.

the housing with a warm, soapy cloth. 
Then wipe clean with a damp cloth 
and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use 
abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. 

The Coffee Maker can be descaled using 
a packaged descaling agent or vinegar. 
Always mix the descaling solution using 
cool water. 
• When using a descaling agent, follow 

the directions on the package for the 
recommended amounts of descaling 
agent and water to use.

• When using vinegar, fill the carafe with 

a solution consisting of 

1

⁄

2

 vinegar and 

1

⁄

2

 water.

1.  Before descaling, always remove the 

water filter (see “Installing the Ion-
Exchange Water Filter” on page 7) and 
make sure the brew basket contains 
no coffee or coffee filters.

2.  Run the Coffee Maker through a 

complete brewing cycle using a full 
carafe of the descaling solution. 

3.  If the cleaning needed indicator lights 

after the brewing cycle is complete, 
repeat Step 2 using fresh descaling 
solution. Keep repeating Step 2 until 
the cleaning needed indicator no 
longer lights after brewing.

4.  Rinse the Coffee Maker by running 

it through two brewing cycles using a 
full carafe of fresh, cool water 
each time.

5.  Wash the brew basket in hot, soapy 

water and rinse with hot water. This 
part can also be washed in the upper 
rack of the dishwasher.

6.  Reinstall or replace the water filter. 

Replace the filter every three months 
under normal usage, or more often 
with heavy use.
