thoroughly clean the heating unit well. If not kept clean, coffeemaker will not work properly.
1. Fill coffeemaker with 1 quart EACH of water and white distilled vinegar. (If a white mineral buildup has formed on
inside of coffeemaker, use an additional 2 cups of vinegar). Place stem and empty basket in place and secure cover onto
coffeemaker. Plug cord into outlet and turn switch ON for models 13500 and 33600. Allow coffeemaker to complete
perking cycle, then let stand 20 minutes.

following the regular cleaning instructions, making sure to clean heating unit well thoroughly.
