Hello Linda Mohr,

1/2 White vinegar +1/2 water (wait 30 minutes = success.

This from the HUFFINGTON POST...

Fill the coffee maker's water chamber with equal parts white vinegar and water. Using a paper filter, allow to brew until half the chamber is empty. Turn the coffee maker off and let it sit for 30 minutes, then finish brewing. Rinse the machine by using a new paper filter to brew a pot of clear water.

I would stay away from apples.. grapes,
wine & balsamic vinegars...
I like a strong cup of coffee... but wit a
COFFEE FLAVOR (nothing else).

If you can NOT find WHITE VINEGAR use a commercial
POT CLEANER...

According to West Bend...30 cups = 1 ¾ cups ground coffee; add more if you prefer it stronger.

Fill the pot with viniger at least up to half, Pour it in the researve tank end let it go though as if your makeing coffee with it, Do that 2 times, Then after it is finish doing the secound pot,leave it in for 30 minutes. Dump it out, Then do the same (Again) But use (water) to do it with, Once the .2 pot of water have gone though it ,then it is ready to use again, this should claen it up for you.

Put a small amount of vinegar in the coffee pot, fill with water "12 cups" add contents to main unit and turn on, when finished! empty pot in sink and refill coffee pot with water only and cycle it through three to four times to make sure the vinegar is flushed out of the lines, adding fresh water each cycle.

Hello,

what you will have to do to solve this problem is that you will have to do self cleaning on the coffee maker

however, (not the bathroom one) is a handy item to use to clean coffee residue off the inside of a glass coffee carafe.

• Does your pot have hard to reach areas? Use a wooden chopstick with a paper towel to get in there.

• You can put ice cubes and a little water(enough so you can swirl it around) in pot and swirl them around, for harder stains put some table salt in pot and swirl it around for a few minutes and then rinse.

• Put a glass marble in the water chamber to attract mineral deposits from hard water. Wash it once a week.

• For tough stains, scrub the pot using a paper towel or clean (not soapy) dish towel. Rinse thoroughly.
• To clean just the pot, do what many restaurants do. Put about two cups of ice, 1/4 cup of rock or table salt, and 1/4 cup of lemon juice (bottled or fresh is fine) and swirl around the pot. Measurements are not that important, just guesstimate. Be sure that the pot is cold before you try this, or you may break the glass pot.
• Clean a brand new coffee pot prior to using it for the first time.
• Never use the coffee pot to pour water into the reservoir. This will transfer oils and impurities from the pot, and eventually give the coffee a nasty taste. Instead, use a pitcher that is reserved for water only.
• To keep the inside area around basket, filter, lid area clean (from coffee ground spatter) simply place a SECOND filter over the top of the grounds in the FIRST filter. Push second filter down so that spout will clear top of second filter (on many makes of coffee makers) as lid is closed. This keeps interior in pristine condition and doesn't take much time or expense.

For my DCR902T - This is telling you that it is time to clean the coffee maker. Press the minute and hour buttons at the same time and hold untl the light stops flashing. Take out the water filter and fill the water tank to 10 cups and add 2 cups of white vinegar. Put the water tank back in, without the water filter. Take out the permenant coffee filter. Turn it on and leave it until about half the water goes through. Turn it off. Let it sit for about an hour, then finish the job. Then, run 2 pots of clean water through. You are good. It will notify you to clean your system every 40 pots or so.

This type of coffee maker is made to keep hot water always ready to make another pot.
Pour water in ( at least 4 cups)then turn it on with the pot installed to catch the water. It takes a few minutes to get it hot . You might hear it heating. I can with mine.OK after the heating sound goes away put some coffee in the filter and in stall the filter.Now, fill the pot again (at least 4 cups) and pour the water in and put the pot ready to catch the coffee.It makes the coffee fast because it already heated the water from the first time you poured it in.When finished with the coffee just turn off the burner only.These types are made to stay on 24 hours a day.
I just turn mine off and let it heat up the water in the morning.

My Tim Hortons coffee pot leake water out the sides when I add water to make more coffee. What should I do ? I like the coffee maker it makes great coffee,

To program the Variable Auto Off: 1. Turn the FUNCTION KNOB to the ?Auto Off? position. Press and hold the ?Hour? button for 2 seconds. The clock display will start blinking. 2. Program the coffeemaker to shut off from zero to four hours after brew cycle is finished by using the ?Hour? and ?Minute? push-buttons. (see ?To set the time?)
