5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

5.1. Coffee Maker Cleaning

• Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the unit in water.
• Descaling: Periodically descale the coffee maker to remove mineral deposits. Fill the water reservoir with a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar. Run a brewing cycle. After the cycle, run two more cycles with clean water to rinse thoroughly.

5.2. Toaster Oven and Griddle Cleaning

• Remove the wire rack, baking pan, and griddle lid. Wash these parts in warm, soapy water. They are not dishwasher safe.
• Wipe the interior of the toaster oven with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive cleaner can be used. Ensure all cleaner residue is removed.
• Clean the non-stick griddle surface with a soft sponge and warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasive scrubbers or metal utensils, as this can damage the non-stick coating.
