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.
NOTE: The Coffee Maker can be
descaled using a vinegar and water
solution, or by using a packaged
descaling agent, like affresh
mix the descaling solution using cool
water.
When using vinegar, fill the carafe
with a solution consisting of ½ vinegar
and ½ 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.
