CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE COFFEE MAKER
Calcium deposits (scale) from water will build up in the Coffee Maker over time and
impair brewing efficiency and coffee quality� If you notice that it takes longer than
usual to brew or that the Coffee Maker is making unusual noises, then it is time to
descale� The “Clean” indicator will flash when the Coffee Maker has completed
100 brew cycles� Descaling should be done as soon as possible to preserve the
performance and life of your Coffee Maker�
1
Before descaling, always remove
the water filter (see the “Installing
the water filter” section) and make
sure the filter basket contains no
coffee or coffee filters�
NOTE:
The Coffee Maker can be
descaled using a vinegar and water
solution or by using a packaged
descaling agent� Always mix the
descaling solution using cool water�
When using vinegar, fill the carafe
with a solution consisting of 1/2 vinegar
and 1/2 water�
When using a descaling agent, follow
the directions on the package for
the recommended ratios of descaling
agent and water to use�
The Coffee Maker should be run
through a complete Clean cycle using
a full tank of the descaling solution�
