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.

to vinegar and has no unpleasant odor.

3.  
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.

5.  
After l/2 hour, pour the vinegar back into the coffeemaker.  
Place the empty decanter on the warming plate. Turn the coffeemaker  
ON and let all of the vinegar flow through.  
6.  
7.  
Discard the vinegar and the paper filter.  
To flush out all traces of vinegar, pour a decanter full of tap water  
into the coffeemaker, turn it ON, and allow it all to cycle through.  
8. Discard the water and turn the coffeemaker OFF. Repeat steps 7 and 8.  
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.
