DESCALING
Descaling refers to the removal of calcium deposits that
form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker.
To Descale Your Coffeemaker:
Depending on the mineral content of water in your area,
calcium deposits (scale) may build up in your
coffeemaker. Though scale is not toxic, it can affect
performance. Descaling the coffeemaker when the
CLEAN indicator signals it is time to do so will help
protect the heating element and other parts that come
into contact with water. For optimal performance,
descale coffeemaker every 3 to 6 months. If calcium
deposits build up faster, the CLEAN light will illuminate,
indicating 12-cup coffeemaker should be descaled.
NOTE:
Before decalcifying your unit, remove the
charcoal water filter from the water reservoir.
To clean:
1. Fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of
one-third white vinegar and two-thirds water.
2. Press the Carafe button once to activate the carafe
side. Press and hold the CLEAN button. When the
CLEAN LED indicator fl ashes, the coffeemaker is in
Clean mode.
NOTE:
The grinder assembly must be in the correct
position to activate the carafe side. If the assembly
is not in place, the carafe LED will fl ash, indicating
the carafe side cannot be activated.
3. When the cycle is completed, 5 beeps will sound
and the coffeemaker will shut off.
4. If the CLEAN indicator illuminates once more, repeat
the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of
vinegar and water.
NOTE:
One cleaning cycle is usually suffi cient.
5. When the CLEAN indicator remains off, run one
cycle with a full reservoir of fresh, cold water to rinse
the unit.
6. Return the charcoal water fi lter to the holder
inside the water reservoir and your coffeemaker is
ready to brew!
NOTE:
If the CLEAN indicator light turns on and
you do not wish to descale now, simply press the
CLEAN button once and the LED indicator will turn
off. However, the CLEAN indicator will turn on again
during subsequent brewing cycles until the descal-
ing procedure is complete.
