cloth and dry before storing. Wipe heating plate 

with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, 

abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the 

resting plate. Do not dry the inside of the water 

reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.  

DECALCIFICATION

Decalcification refers to removing the calcium 

deposits which form over time on the metal 

parts of the coffeemaker.
For best performance from your 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.

To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity  

with a mixture of 

1

⁄³ of white vinegar and ²⁄³ 

water. Press the Grind Off button, and turn  

the coffeemaker on by pressing the On button. 

One cycle should be sufficient to adequately 

clean the coffeemaker. When the cycle is 

completed and the five beeps sound, turn 

coffeemaker off. Repeat operation, this time 

using fresh cold water.
