Cleaning & Descaling
The iCoffee Brewer must be cleaned when you notice that the brewing
time has increased considerably. The condition is caused by build-up of
lime and mineral deposits
in the heater from hard
tap water. The frequency
of cleaning depends
on the hardness of tap
water used. The following
table gives a suggested
cleaning schedule.
Descaling Procedure
1. Fill the iCoffee Brewer water reservoir with household white vinegar to
the 4-cup level mark.
2. Turn on the Brewer to heat and circulate the vinegar into system.
3. Carefully watch the vinegar level in the reservoir until the vinegar level
disappears,
4. AND IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF THE Brewer.
5. Let the vinegar sit in the Brewer heater for 30 minutes to dissolve the
internal mineral scale.
6. After 30 minutes, empty the carafe then fill the reservoir with plain
water to the 12-cup mark, AND TURN BACK ON THE Brewer.
7. When the water level in the reservoir has emptied,
8. TURN OFF THE Brewer.
9. Discard the vinegar in the glass carafe.
10. Your iCoffee brewer is now Sanitized, Descaled and ready to Brew
Great Coffee.
