Instructions

1

Turn off and unplug the coffee maker that has a warming plate or turn off and unplug a warming-only plate.
2

Wait for the unit to cool completely, typically, within 15 to 20 minutes.
3

Remove the coffee pot from the plate and set it aside.
4

Dampen a lint-free cloth with warm water and wipe the plate -- top and housing -- to remove any coffee residue or dust. To remove tough stains, dampen a non-abrasive plastic scrubbing pad or melamine resin foam eraser, rub the stain gently away and then rinse with a clean damp cloth.
5

Wipe the plate dry with another lint-free cloth when finished. Plug the plate or coffee maker back in and use as needed.
