This condition is caused by a build-up of lime and mineral deposits
from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water
has been pumped out of the machine, then the appliance requires
decalcification. The frequency of decalcification depends on the
hardness of water used. The following table gives the suggested
decalcification intervals:

How To Decalcify
Your Coffee Maker
1. Place a paper filter into the removable filter basket. Make sure
the removable filter basket fits securely back into the unit.

into the water reservoir. Make sure to insert a fresh filter into the
filter basket before brewing and place the empty thermal carafe
on the base plate. Switch the Coffee Maker ON and allow it to
cycle through.
9. At the end of the brew cycle, the Coffee Maker will automatically
shut off. Discard water in the thermal carafe. Repeat steps
