How to Fix Coffee Maker

Показать описание

This is a Black and Decker CM2046S Coffee Maker, and like most coffee makers, it requires regular cleaning. Sometimes, simply running vinegar through it isn’t enough, and a more thorough cleaning may be needed. In this guide, I’ll show you how to clean the heating element, as there are plenty of great videos available on how to disassemble the machine. The detailed cleaning steps are outlined below, along with the website for further reference.

DESCALING WITH THE AUTO CLEAN™ FUNCTION
With regular use, minerals and hard water can clog your coffee maker. A full cleaning with vinegar is recommended once a month. To notify you that it is time to descale with vinegar, after 60 brew cycles or when calcification is sensed, “CLEAN” should scroll across the display three times. The “CLEAN” word will continue to blink before each brew until the descaling process is completed. If the machine is extremely calcified it may require multiple cleaning cycles to clear the “CLEAN” warning.
Pour white vinegar into the water reservoir up to the 5-cup mark on the water window. Add cold water up to the 12-cup mark.
1. Put a basket-shaped paper filter in the brew basket and close the cover. Set the empty carafe on the carafe plate.
1. Press and hold the POWER button for 5 seconds to start the Auto Clean™ function. The entire cleaning process will take 45-60 minutes to complete.
2. During the Auto Clean™ process, the coffee maker will:
– Brew 5 cups of the vinegar/water mixture first
– Pause for about 30 minutes
– After the pause, it will brew the remainder of the vinegar/water mixture
3. Once the process is complete, empty the carafe and discard the paper filter.
4. Fill the water reservoir with cold water to the 12-cup line: replace the empty carafe on the carafe plate and then turn ON the coffeemaker for a complete brewing cycle to flush out the remaining vinegar/water mixture. You may want to repeat this step to completely remove the vinegar smell and taste
5. Wash the brew basket and carafe as shown in CARE AND CLEANING.
6. If your machine is heavily calcified, the “CLEAN” warning may remain activated after cleaning. In this case, repeat cleaning.
