Go to company website or call corporate and have them email you or mail you instructions. But good old Vinegar has always worked for me.

Please see instructions manual here: https://bellahousewares.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/90061-BELLA-Pro-14-Cup-Programmable-Coffee-Maker-Instruction-Manual.pdf. Cleaning instructions as follows: USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user-serviceable parts. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician. CARE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Always make sure Coffee Maker is unplugged and the warming plate is cool before attempting to clean. 2. After every use, remove the permanent coffee filter, discard used coffee grounds, rinse thoroughly. 3. Wash the removable filter holder and glass carafe in hot, sudsy water. If necessary, scrub the inside of the carafe lid with a soaped kitchen brush. The permanent filter and removable filter holder are all top rack dishwasher safe. The reusable scoop is also dishwasher safe but it should be placed in the machine alongside the cutlery. WARNING: To avoid breakage, handle carafe with care. Avoid impact. Glass will break as a result of impact. Use care when filling with water to avoid hitting faucet. 4. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove superficial stains. For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers. 16 5. Dry and replace disassembled parts. Make sure the removable filter holder drops down and is properly seated into the housing. 6. Close the lid. AUTO CLEAN AND DESCALING Special cleaning of your Coffee Maker is recommended at least once a month, depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in the unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the following cleaning procedure should be performed every 2 weeks, since minerals in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time. 1. Combine 6 cups of white vinegar and 4 cups of cold water in carafe. 2. Pour into water reservoir. 3. Place an 8 to 12 cup cupcake style paper filter in the removable filter basket. Insert filter basket into filter basket holder and close lid. 4. Make sure the lid of the carafe is in place and place the empty carafe on the keep warm plate. 5. Press and hold the KEEP WARM button until CLEAN appears on the LCD. 6. Press the ON/OFF button to start the cleaning cycle. The light around the ON/OFF button will turn on and the unit will beep. 7. Once the cleaning cycle is complete, the light around the ON/OFF button will turn off and the unit will beep. 8. Discard all water/vinegar solution from carafe & water tank. 9. Repeat the brew cycle 2-3 times with cold water before brewing coffee again STORING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Unplug unit and allow to cool. 2. Store Coffee Maker in its box or in a cool, dry place. 3. Never store unit while it is still plugged in. Hope this helps. Have a nice day. The BELLA Team.
