• Always turn off the coffee machine and remove the plug from the power outlet before cleaning.
• Clean the outer housing and LCD screen with a soft damp cloth. When cleaning the LCD, apply cleaner to the cloth, not directly to the LCD.
• Do not use abrasive cloths or cleaners on any part of the brewer.
• Remove the coffee basket and discard any ground or paper filters.
• The baskets can be rinsed with warm water and if deeper cleaning is required, a soft bristled brush with hot soapy water can be used.
• After each use, empty the carafe; do not allow coffee to sit overnight as this could cause stains.
• As with the baskets, rinsing with warm water will clean the carafe but if deeper cleaning is required, use a soft bristled brush and hot soapy water.
• Periodically wipe down the shower head area with a soft damp cloth. If deeper cleaning is needed, the showerhead ring can be unscrewed counter-clockwise and the shower head can be pulled down. Use the same soft bristled brush and hot soapy water.
