How to Extend the Life of Your Proctor Silex Coffee Maker

There are two types of cleaning for your drip coffee maker, daily cleaning (or after each use) and monthly cleaning and descaling to remove mineral deposits, yeast and mold. Everyday cleaning is pretty intuitive, though instructions are included with your appliance: unplug the machine; wash the carafe, carafe lid and filter basket by hand or on the top shelf of the dishwasher; wipe the outside of the machine with a soft damp cloth. Use mild cleaning agents rather than abrasive ones.

For monthly cleaning and descaling

1. Add 2 cups of plain white vinegar to the water reservoir.
2. To avoid splashing, make sure the filter basket is empty.
3. Click the ON (I/O) button. To ensure that the vinegar is in the coffee maker’s parts and can begin the descaling process, press OFF (I/O) after 30 seconds of brewing.
4. Wait 30 minutes.
5. Once more pressing ON (I/O), finish the vinegar brewing. When you’re done, press OFF (I/O).
6. Run 2 to 3 more brew cycles with clean water only, allowing the machine to cool between cycles.
