De-scaling With Auto Clean™
Over time, calcium deposits or “scale” may build up in your brewer. Scale is non-
toxic but if left unattended can hinder brewer performance. Regularly de-scaling
your brewer helps to maintain quality coffee as well as the lifespan of the heating
element, and other internal parts that come in contact with water throughout the
brew process.
To make the de-scaling process as effortless as possible, an Auto Clean™ system
has been programmed into your Café Select™.
When is it time to Auto Clean™?
After every 120 brews, full carafe and single serve combined, the Robusto and 20
oz. brew selection buttons will begin to flash prior to brewing your coffee selection.
When this happens, it is time to de-scale your Café Select™. After you run the Auto
Clean™ system, the blinking will stop, until it is time to clean the unit again.
How do I use Auto Clean™?
Follow the simple steps below. Your Café Select™ will take care of the rest.
1. Fill the water reservoir approximately half-way with white vinegar.
2. Fill the remaining half of the water reservoir with cool water.
3. Place a #4 paper cone filter into the carafe side brew basket, close the lid and
place the empty carafe onto the carafe plate.
4. Place the POD adapter into the single serve brew basket cavity and lock the
lid closed.
5. Place a mug or other receptacle that holds a minimum of 20 ounces of liquid
onto the single serve mug base.
6. Press and hold both the robusto and 20 oz. buttons together for five seconds to
start the Auto Clean™ system.
Note:
The LED lights for strong and 20 oz. will remain lit to indicate that the
Auto Clean™ system is activated.
7. Leave unit to Auto Clean™ for approximately 80 minutes.
8. When Auto Clean™ has finished, the LED lights for strong and 20 oz. will turn off.
9. Discard the liquid in both the carafe and single serve mug or receptacle.
10. Using water only, run a minimum of two full brew cycles through the full carafe.
11. Using water only, run a minimum of two 20 ounce brews through the single serve unit.
12. Wash, rinse and dry each removable piece of your Café Select™ (see the Basic Cleaning
section of this guide for specific instructions).
