Frequently Asked Questions - DCM601B BLACK & DECKER

How do I clean the coffee maker?
Unplug and let cool. Wash the permanent filter, carafe, and lid in warm, sudsy water or on the top rack of a dishwasher. Wipe the reservoir cover with a damp cloth.
For mineral deposits, run a vinegar cycle: fill reservoir to 2-cup mark with white vinegar, add water to 5-cup line, brew halfway, let soak 15 minutes, then finish brewing. Rinse by brewing fresh water.
How much coffee should I use?
Start with 1 level tablespoon of medium grind coffee per cup. Adjust to taste.
Can I use paper filters instead of the permanent filter?
Yes, you can use a standard basket-style paper filter. The permanent filter is included and reusable.
Why is my coffee not hot enough?
Ensure the carafe is placed properly on the KEEP HOT plate. If the plate is dirty, clean it. Also, pre-warming the carafe with hot water can help maintain temperature.
Can I brew less than 5 cups?
Yes, you can brew any amount up to 5 cups. Use the water level markings inside the reservoir to measure the desired amount.
Does the coffee maker have an automatic shut-off?
No, the DCM601B does not have an automatic shut-off feature. You must turn it off manually using the On/Off switch.
What does the red indicator light mean?
The red light comes on when the unit is turned on and brewing. It stays on as long as the appliance is powered.
How often should I descale the coffee maker?
Descaling with vinegar is recommended every 3 months to remove mineral deposits caused by hard water.
What should I do if the carafe cracks?
Do not use a cracked carafe. Contact the manufacturer for replacement parts or call 1-800-738-0245 (US/Canada) for accessories.
Can I use extension cord?
Yes, but only if the cord's electrical rating is at least as high as the appliance. Avoid draping over countertops to prevent tripping.

b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
