DESCALING
In hard-water areas, scale from limestone content in the water may build up
in your machine. Scaling can lead to extended preparation time and possible
damage to your coffee brewer. We suggest that you descale your brewer after
every 60 brew cycles, or once every two months. However, if the appliance
makes an unusually loud noise, delays brew time, or fails to achieve the proper
water temperature of 198º-205ºF (92°-96°C), you may need to descale more
often. We recommend periodically using a good quality biodegradable and
phosphate-free coffee machine descaler. One designed to break down mineral
build-up inside your brewer to ensure great coffee and consistent functionality.
Vinegar may not effectively descale your brewer, and can be difficult to rinse
thoroughly. Vinegar may also leave behind an odor that can impact the flavor of
your coffee.
