Lost my manual ,, need to know how to run "clean" feature properly
Manual version: Prepare a cup of white vinegar and 4 cups of water. Pour into reservoir and initiate "clean" cycle. Boiler was warm up, shut off and repeat over the period of about a half hour, and then finally cough up all the stuff and end the cycle. Then, fill with cold water and run a full brew cycle to rinse.
My version: Dump about a quarter cup of CLR into the reservoir, let stand for a half hour. Then, add 4 cups of water and run the "clean" cycle. After finishing, unplug and turn unit over over the sink to completely drain, use tap water to clean and flush the reservoir thoroughly, dry thoroughly and then plug in, reset the clock and brew time, and run a full load of drinking water/distilled water through to final rinse. It will last forever with my method.
SOURCE: how do I use the self-cleaning option
According to the manual for IS series Mr. Coffee for programmable models:
1. Prepare one batch of Mr. Coffee coffeemaker cleaner. Pour the mixture into the water reservoir. Remove the water filtration disk from the machine.
4 cups or 20 oz. of undiluted, white household vinegar may be used as a substitute for the cleaner.
2. Place an empty paper filter or permanent filter into the filter basket and close.
3. Place the empty decanter back in the unit, centered on the warmer plate.
4. Press SELECT button until the red CLEAN indicator light is illuminated. For your convenience the cleaning cycle is automatic. The entire cycle will take 45-60 min to complete. During the cleaning your coffeemaker will:
5.Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the decanter thoroughly with clean water.
6. Fill the water reservoir with clean fresh water.
7. Place the empty decanter back on the coffeemaker, centered on the warmer plate.
8. Remove and discard the filter used during the cleaning cycle and replace it with a fresh paper filter. If a permanent filter was used during cleaning, remove it and rinse it thoroughly before replacing it in the filter basket.
9.Begin brewing and allow the full brew cycle to complete.
Repeat steps 6-9 one more time.
SOURCE: clean light won't go out, can't use delay brew feature.
Try unplugging it for several minuets & see if it clears it..
Self-Cleaning and Maintaining Sole
Plate Use the self-cleaning feature once a month by
moving the steam lever back and forth from the "dry" setting several
times. This will remove any residue from the steam valve and ensure that the
steam system works properly. Wipe the sole plate with
a soft, damp cloth while the iron is cool and unplugged. Run the iron over a
cotton cloth several times to remove any residue from the sole plate. Cleaning Anti-Calcium Feature Fill the water cup that
came with your iron. Use enough water to reach the Sunbeam logo in the top
corner of the cup. Add a teaspoon of salt
to the cup and stir. Empty the salt solution
into the water reservoir in your iron. Allow the iron to stand
for 15 minutes, then empty out the water reservoir.Repeat this cycle with a
second cupful of salt water. Rinse out the reservoir
with clean water. You should perform this cleaning once a month.
