Hello, thanks for reaching out. CARE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Always make sure Coffee Maker is unplugged and the warming plate is cool before attempting to clean. 2. After daily use, open the lid and remove the coffee filter from the removable filter holder. 3. Pull filter holder out of the Coffee Maker and wash in hot, sudsy water. The removable filter holder is top rack dishwasher safe. 4. Wash the glass carafe in warm, sudsy water. If necessary, remove the carafe lid at the hinge. Then scrub the inside of the carafe lid with a soaped kitchen brush. Rinse well. Replace lid after cleaning. WARNING: To avoid breakage, handle carafe with care. Avoid impact. Glass will break as a result of impact. Use care when filling with water to avoid hitting faucet. 5. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove superficial stains. For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers. 6. Dry and replace disassembled parts. 7. Close the lid. Figure 3 Figure 4 10 DESCALING Special cleaning of your Coffee Maker is recommended at least once a month, depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in the unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the following cleaning procedure should be performed every 2 weeks, since minerals in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time. 1. Fill carafe with 1 part white vinegar to three parts cold water. Pour water and vinegar solution into the water reservoir. 2. During cleaning, more steam will occur than during normal brewing. 3. BREW THE VINEGAR SOLUTION UNTIL CARAFE IS HALF FULL. Press the ON/OFF button to turn Coffee Maker OFF. When liquid stops dripping from the removable filter holder into the carafe, remove the carafe and allow liquid to cool for 10 minutes. When cooled, lift Coffee Maker lid and pour liquid back into the water reservoir. 4. Close the lid. Return carafe to the warming plate. 5. BREW THE VINEGAR SOLUTION again, allowing all the cleaning solution to empty into the carafe. After dripping has stopped, empty contents of the carafe. 6. Allow Coffee Maker to cool for 10 minutes, rinse by brewing a carafe full of cold water. 7. At end of brew cycle, press the ON/OFF button twice. Empty water in the carafe. Wash carafe and removable filter holder in hot sudsy water. Dry parts thoroughly. 8. When Coffee Maker has cooled, wipe exterior with a dry cloth. Hope this helps. Have a great day. The BELLA Team.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hey Anon, in reference to the basket, I use a disposable liner in the permanent filter to keep down messes, but really all you need to do is rinse it out when you're done. You can, of course, try and run the filter through the dishwasher, or hand wash with dish soap or vinegar too (how often depends on how much you use it). I would hand wash the carafe with dish soap, haven't tried the dishwasher. If you want a deep clean, put a mixture of vinegar and water into the reservoir and turn the pot on. The ratio is up to you, you could do 50/50 water vinegar, otherwise some other people advise one part vinegar to two parts water -- say, three cups vinegar and 6 cups water. No vinegar smell should be left, but if you're unsure, just run the pot on a reservoir of plain water afterwards.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I clean my coffee maker with equal parts of water and vinegar. I let the mixture drip until it is half full. I shut off the machine and I wait for a specific amount of time and I pour the contents back into the machine. I turn the machine on and let it finish. Please read the instructions.
