how do i clean the inside of my mr coffee bvmc zh1b? it's starting to smell funky.

— asked by Maria

Mineral buildup and old coffee oils cause odor. Perform a cleaning cycle with white vinegar.

  1. Fill the reservoir with equal parts white vinegar and cold water to the 6-cup mark.
  2. Place an empty filter in the basket.
  3. Place the empty carafe on the warming plate.
  4. Start a full brew cycle. Halfway through, pause and let the vinegar solution sit in the system for 30 minutes.
  5. Resume and complete the cycle. Discard the vinegar water.
  6. Run 2-3 cycles with fresh cold water only to rinse.

Repeat monthly if you have hard water or use daily.
