Cleaning the Presto 2811 Coffee Maker is important to ensure optimal performance. Here are the steps to clean the coffee maker:
1. Allow the coffee maker to cool before cleaning.
2. Hold onto the coffee maker handle with one hand. Position your other hand so that the heel is resting on the cover on the spout side of the coffee maker and your fingers are grasping the cover xxxx . Pressing down with the heel of your hand, tilt the cover towards the spout side of the coffee maker. Pull the cover off and discard the coffee grounds and filter.
3. Wash and rinse the basket assembly, cover, and inside of the coffee maker pot with warm, soapy water after each use. The spout and perk tube, including the washer, can be cleaned with a brush. The washer on the bottom of the perk tube needs to move freely. The perk tube, basket, and basket lid can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
4. Wipe the outside surface of the pot with a damp cloth. Thoroughly dry with a towel.
5. Do not immerse the power base or coffee maker pot in water or other liquid or allow the base or the bottom exterior of the pot to get wet.
6. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on any part of the coffee maker as this may damage the unit.
7. To keep the coffee maker functioning properly, periodically remove oil, stains, and any sediment from inside the coffee maker. To clean, add water up to the 12 marks. Then prepare the coffee maker as you would for making a full pot of coffee, except add 3 tablespoons of automatic dishwashing detergent to the basket in place of the coffee and do not use a disposable filter. Once the signal light illuminates, allow the coffee maker pot to remain on the base for 15 to 20 minutes. Pour out the cleaning solution, and then rinse the inside of the coffee maker and the parts with running water. Fill the coffee maker with fresh water up to the 12 mark and perk again. Pour out the water and thoroughly rinse the inside of the coffee maker and the parts. Depending on the severity of the staining, it may be necessary to repeat this cleaning procedure. Always unplug the power base after use.
8. Wrap the power cord in the base for compact storage.
Following these cleaning instructions will help ensure that your Presto 2811 Coffee Maker remains in good condition and continues to brew delicious coffee.
