CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Basic Cleaning
• Clean the brewer regularly with a moist cloth and wipe dry. After each
use, hand wash the carafe and brew-basket with mild detergent.
Rinse thoroughly. Carafe is not dishwasher safe. Thermal carafe coffee
oil stains may be removed by placing a small amount of dishwasher
detergent and water in carafe and allowing it to soak overnight or we
recommend the use of Cleancaf® by Urnex®.
• Do not submerge brewer in liquid.
Descaling Your Brewer
• Your coffee maker must be descaled regularly to maintain
optimal performance.
• When mineral deposits build up in the heating element of your
Technivorm Moccamaster, it can clog the water flow and affect
the brew temperature and saturation time. If not descaled regularly,
the brewer can stop working.
• Descaling products are designed to break down the lime scale and
mineral buildup inside your brewer to ensure consistent brewer
functionality and great coffee. We recommend the use of Dezcal™
by Urnex® for descaling your brewer.
• Vinegar may not effectively descale your brewer and can be difficult
to thoroughly rinse. Vinegar may also leave behind an odor that could
affect future brews.
• Technivorm Moccamaster recommends descaling your brewer every
100 cycles (easily remembered after every box of 100-count filters) or
a minimum of every 3 months.
• Cleaning powders are designed to remove coffee oils from the
brew-basket, carafe, etc.
• After descaling, run two brew cycles with water.
Anti-Frost Protection and Extended Storage Guidelines
• Turn the brewer off and remove the electrical plug from outlet.
• Remove the 9-hole outlet arm.
• Empty any remaining water within brewer by holding it upside down
over the sink.
• Replace the 9-hole outlet arm before using the brewer again.
