How do you clean up the bottom part of the coffee maker?
715579
Not sure which bottom part of the coffee maker, my wife has been using Siphon coffee maker for at least 30 years and she never has problem to clean both interior or exterior of the bottom pot (I believe that is the bottom part you mentioned), use small amount of dish detergent will clean both. But be careful to hold on the both top and bottom units while you do the cleaning, especially the top unit, my wife is a very careful person but she had broken at least 6 of them so far, and just 1 of the bottom so she is holding 5 or 6 unused bottom units for spares in case it breaks in future.

Don't take it apart beyond removing the filter basket, since it is highly unlikely you will get the portafilter (handle unit) back together . Soak the whole think in Urnex coffee machine cleaner and hot water and then flush.

Try using a blow dryer to heat the glue. The instructions should pull off. Then use GOO GONE or similar adhesive remover to remove the residual glue from the coffee maker. Next, attach the instructions to ordinary printer paper for safekeeping.

Clean everything first with soap & water. Fill the mug 1/2 full with white vinegar & carefully add a few teaspoons of baking soda (depending on the size of your mug). "Carefully" because it will react/expand & pour out all over if done too quickly. Add water until full. A better way to do it, if possible, is I separate my mug from the lid & put them both inside my French Press when cleaning it. Everything stainless steel comes out looking almost brand new, & all the seals etc are clean as well.

Use white vinegar - ((you buy it at a grocery store- very cheaply I might add). Other than that- just use a soft facecloth and wipe it down on the outside after use. Leave the top open for it to air dry inside, do not use dish detergent in the area where the water goes or you'll taste soap in your coffee for months!

You do the same things you would with any coffeemaker... Once in a while, run a little viinegar and water throught. Clean the filter basket regularly (it comes out easily). Wash the pot. That's about it.

The top part I clean. For the bottom I line it in Heavy Aluminum foil (the thicker brand). I don't wash the bottom, just throw the foil out. Its not too bad to clean.

Nope. Are there self-cleaning coffee makers? Page 4 of the manual explains how to clean it. http://tinyurl.com/lgswg65

Simple. Just take it apart by pulling the handle out and wash all the parts with soap and water. To take it apart, pull the handle out (it swings away from the coffee maker, and stays attached at the top). Once the handle has been pulled out, the top will come off very easily. After the top is off, the coffee basket will come out of the bottom. Just wash everything after it's all in pieces. Some people just rinse it off. I guess I'm too OCD for that. Hope you get one. Nothing like it for making good coffee.

Open the top lid, remove the basket containing the grounds, and use the handle to lift out the tank with the remaining coffee, then pour the old coffee down the sink drain. Dispose of the grounds (not down the drain), rinse the basket and tank and your ready to do another brew.

Just put a cup under and drain until no more comes out. Also, the part where the coffee is comes out I believe. It's easy to maintain.

I actually use a standard coffee scoop and lightly tamp it down, then close the top over. You don't want to overfill it.

I use a paper towel to dry it occasionally. What has worked best for me is to rinse a the removal parts (bowl and top of the bean container, basket for the grinds and the cover, coffee carafe and lid, and leave them to air dry in the dish drained. Leave the top and basket compartment open to allow the non-removable parts to dry. Cindy M.

The water is filtered, the coffee pods are self contained and disposable. The machine itself comes with a disc for the clean cycle which cleans and sanitizes with hot water and steam. You can wipe down the outside of the machine however you clean your other appliances- I use Lysol wipes

You fill the water from the TOP.... I'm not sure about auto-clean I will have to check for you. I will tell you this is the best coffee maker that I've had to date. I bought a second one for the upstairs. It takes 15 minutes to brew and it is worth the wait. you get a very hot cup of coffee when it is done. I highly recommend it (auto clean or self clean) well worth it.

1. Turn off and unplug the coffeemaker. Wait for the warming plate to completely cool before cleaning. 2. Combine warm water & a few drops of dish-washing liquid. Dip a clean, soft cloth or paper towl into the mixture & wipe the warming plate until the burned-on residue is gone. 3. Apply a small amount of vinegar to a cleaning sponge if the cleaning mixture does not remove the burned-on residue. Scrub gently to remove the residue. 4. Dampen a clean cloth or paper towel with water and wipe the warming plate. 5. Allow the warming plate to air dry completely, or dry it with a towel before turning the coffeemaker on. Good Luck! 1.
