DeCaLCIfICatIon
Decalcification refers to the removal of
calcium deposits that form over time on the
metal parts of the coffeemaker.
For best performance from your Brew Central
™
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 Clean
light will indicate when you should clean your
coffeemaker.
note: Before decalcifying your
coffeemaker, remember to remove the
charcoal water filter from the water filter
holder located in the water reservoir.
To decalcify, fill the water reservoir to capacity
with a mixture of ¹⁄³ white vinegar and ²⁄³ water.
Press the Clean button. When the Clean light
glows, turn the coffeemaker on by pressing
the on/off button. The Clean light will shine
steadily. The coffeemaker is now in clean
mode. one cycle should be sufficient
to adequately clean the coffeemaker. When
the cycle is completed and the five beeps
sound, the coffeemaker will shut off. Turn
the coffeemaker on to see if the Clean light
continues to flash. If it does, turn it off and
then repeat the cleaning procedure with a
fresh solution of vinegar and water.
If the Clean light no longer flashes, turn the
coffeemaker off and then run one cycle of
fresh cold water through the unit before using
the unit again to brew coffee.

feature
This feature interrupts the flow of coffee
from the basket to let you pour that first
cup mid-brew. Because the flavor profile of
coffee brewed at the start of a cycle differs
from that brewed toward the end, be aware
that using this feature will weaken the flavor
strength of the finished pot.
NoTE: Removing carafe for more than 20
seconds may cause filter basket to overflow.
