Small oil droplets on the surface of the brewed black coffee are due to the
extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if
dark roasted coffee is used. Heavy use may also cause many oil deposits,
indicating a need to clean the Coffeemaker more frequently.
CLEANING YOUR COFFEEMAKER
CAUTION: Always make sure Coffeemaker is unplugged before
attempting to clean it. To protect against electric shock, do not
immerse cord, plug or unit in water or other liquids.
z The outside of your Coffeemaker can be cleaned by wiping the surface with a damp,
soft cloth.
IMPORTANT: Never immerse the Coffeemaker in water or other
liquids.
z When cleaning the Carafe, DO NOT put your hands inside the Glass Carafe or insert
anything into the glass chamber for the glass is fragile and may break. Clean your
Glass Carafe by rinsing it with warm soapy water.
z The Glass Carafe Lid and Removable Filter Basket may be washed with warm
soapy water or placed in the top rack of the dishwasher. Do not place any other parts
of the Coffeemaker in the dishwasher.
z Rinse the Removable Filter Basket thoroughly after every use to insure trouble-free
operation.
z Do not clean the inside of the Water Reservoir with a cloth as the cloth may have a
lint residue that could clog the Coffeemaker.
z For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not
use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.

DECALCIFYING YOUR COFFEEMAKER
z Calcium deposits may build up in the Coffeemaker as a result of minerals commonly
found in drinking water. The build-up is normal and may result in longer brewing
times. This slow down can be eliminated by periodically decalcifying
the Coffeemaker. We recommend decalcifying your unit with Gevalia Cleancaf
Cleaner & Descaler. Nontoxic, biodegradable and odorless Cleancaf is a quick and
easy way to keep coffeemakers clean, fresh and odor free. Use bi-monthly to
remove or prevent oil residue and mineral buildup. You can order Cleancaf by calling
1-800-GEVALIA (1-800-438-2542) or visiting us at www.gevalia.com
.
z A solution of two tablespoons of white vinegar to one carafe of cold water may also
be used to decalcify. Pour the solution into the Water Reservoir, and then close the
Hinged Reservoir Lid. Place the Glass Carafe securely on the Warming Plate and
allow the Coffeemaker to brew the vinegar solution. Once it has finished brewing,
empty the Glass Carafe and rinse it out with cold water. Refill the Water Reservoir
with cold water only and run another new cycle to remove any remaining residue.
