Decalcification:

Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium
deposits which form over time on the metal
parts of the coffeemaker.

For best performance from your Brew Central
Thermal

Coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit

from time to time.  The frequency depends
upon the hardness of your tap water and how
often you use the coffeemaker. The flashing
Self Clean light will indicate when you should
clean your coffeemaker.

Self Cleaning:

If the Self Clean light begins to flash when 
the coffeemaker is turned on, it is telling you
that the calcium buildup is interfering with the 
functioning of your coffeemaker and the flavour
of your coffee. To clean, fill the water reservoir
to capacity with a mixture of 1/3 white vinegar
and 2/3 water. Press the Self Clean button.
When the self clean light glows, turn the 
coffeemaker on by pressing the flip switch to
ON.  The Self Clean light will shine steadily.
The coffeemaker is now in Self Clean mode.
One cycle should be sufficient to adequately
clean the coffeemaker.  When the cycle is
completed and the five beeps sound, the cof-
feemaker will shut off. Turn the coffeemaker
ON to see if the Self Clean light continues to
flash.  If it does, turn it to OFF and then repeat
the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of
vinegar and water.

If the Self Clean light no longer flashes, turn
the coffeemaker to OFF and then run one
cycle of fresh cold water through the unit
before using the unit again to brew coffee.

Notes on the Self Clean Function

Pressing the Self Clean button cancels all
other settings.  If it is pressed accidentally,
