Coffee oils build up quickly within the brew basket and carafe.
Over time, these oils will go stale and taint the flavor of freshly
brewed coffee. Daily cleaning of the brew basket, brew basket
insert, and carafe is strongly recommended for the
best-tasting coffee.
Cleaning the Coffee Maker
1. Unplug the coffee maker.
2. Remove the brew basket insert from the brew basket.
3. Wash the brew basket, brew basket insert, carafe, and carafe lid
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 the dishwasher.
4. Wipe the coffee maker housing with a clean damp cloth,
and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or
scouring pads.
Cleaning the Optional Permanent Filter
After several uses, clean the filter with a soft brush or sponge. Avoid
using abrasive cleansers or steel wool pads. The filter can also be
washed in the top rack of a dishwasher.
