Bunn coffee maker emits a moldy or musty odor from the tank or brew area.

Safety: Unplug the brewer before cleaning. Avoid inhaling mold spores; clean in a well-ventilated area.

Steps:

• 1. Empty and rinse: Drain or flush the internal tank with fresh water if possible. Empty and wash the carafe and funnel.
• 2. Clean with mild detergent: Wash all removable parts with hot, soapy water. Scrub any visible mold or residue.
• 3. Sanitize: Run a brew cycle with a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 2 parts water. Let it sit in the tank for 15–20 minutes, then flush with several tanks of fresh water.
• 4. Dry between uses: Leave the lid or reservoir cap slightly open when not in use to allow ventilation and reduce moisture buildup.
