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 the suggested cleaning intervals.

Place a #4 cone filter Into the filter basket and close the filter basket.
Place the empty decanter on the warming plate and turn the coffee-
maker ON. When three cups have flowed through, turn the coffee-
maker OFF and let stand for l/2 hour.

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 solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.
2. Let solution stand in decanter for about 20 minutesand 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.
