To descale your coffee maker, fill the reservoir with a mixture of half white vinegar and half water. Run a brewing cycle without coffee grounds. Once complete, run two more cycles with fresh water to rinse.
Ensure the coffee maker is plugged in and the outlet is functioning. Check the power switch and reset any tripped circuit breakers. If it still doesn't work, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
Remove the filter basket and rinse it under warm water. Use a mild detergent if needed. Make sure it is completely dry before reassembling it back into the coffee maker.
For the West Bend L5223 56600 Coffee Maker, a medium grind size is recommended to ensure optimal flavor extraction and to prevent clogging the filter.
Set the clock to the current time, then use the program button to set the desired start time. Once set, make sure to press the 'Auto' button to activate the timer function.
