Clean the sliding lid by hand. Do not place it in the dishwasher.
Procedure:
- Open the hinged hood on top of the brewer by pulling up on the left side.
- Slide the sliding lid out of the back of the brewer to remove it.
- Hand-wash the sliding lid with warm, soapy water.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Slide the sliding lid back into its tracks in the brewer.
- Close the hinged hood.
Prevention: For routine cleaning after a brew, wash the brew basket, permanent filter, and carafe with warm, soapy water. The sliding lid only needs this detailed cleaning if residue is visible.
