How do I clean my pot ? - Faberware FCP280 Coffee Maker

To clean your metal coffee pot you can pour boiling water into the pot and add a few drops of liquid dishwasher cleaner. Leave it to sit overnight and in the morning tip it out and rinse it out carefully before you use it.

Limescale needs something stronger than basic dish soap to remove it. Citric acid and vinegar are both very good products for cleaning coffee pots. Using a ratio of about one part citric acid to 20 parts water, brew the pot of coffee as you normally would. After that, do another 2 cycles of 'brewing' using just plain water. This should clean your coffee pot out nicely. Good luck.

Try using a contact cleaner in a spray form. Like a can of CRC Contact cleaner or Deoxit contact cleaners. Potentiometer [Pot] are not sealed so find a hole and spray into it. Use a liberal amount of cleaner. Work the pot while spraying.

You can test the pot by using a analog multimeter You will need a multimeter only $9

Using the multimeter.gently turn the pot up and down the multimeter should read zero when the pot is turned fully clockwise. Now turn the pot fully counterclockwise. As you tern the pot the meter should smoothly rise to 30k ohms, The meter needle should not bounce or drop off, it should move smoothly at all times. If the meter bounces clean the pot again you will likely see improvement. I've had to clean pots a number of times before the pot is clean. Hope this helps.

mild detergent, do not submerse in water

Use a coffee pot cleaner such as Dip-IT. Walmart sells a product in the coffee maker area that is for cleaning the coffee maker. It cleans the coffee pots too.

Run a pot of half water and half vinegar through the coffee pot and you may need to repeat this process a couple times to get all the calcium buildup cleaned out of the pot. Hope this helps.

To clean the pump pot, use purocaff, add a teaspoon of the soap to the pump pot then fill with warm water, let sit for about 1 hour, then use a brush to clean.
