When the cycle is done, dump out the vinegar. Then run 2 cycles of plain cold water through to rinse out any left over vinegar odors.

Step 3
Wipe down the inside area where you pour in water, with paper towels. Make sure you scrub out the hopper (where you put the fresh grounds) in warm soapy water. Be sure to get the area above it with the scrubby sponge, where the water comes out into the hopper. These areas are usually neglected, but important in maintaining your machine.
