or when red light is flashing (programmable models).

Water Filtration Disk Replacement

Your water filtration disk will need to be replaced once a month (approx. 30 brew 

cycles). If the machine will not be in use for an extended period of time, rinse the 

water filter with running water and clean the coffeemaker before use.

Cleaning the Decanter

Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter, and coffee may then turn this 

stain brown.
To remove decanter stains:
1.  Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts water and vinegar and let the 

solution stand in the decanter for approximately 20 minutes.

2. Discard the solution, then wash and rinse the decanter.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners that may scratch the decanter.
