De-scaling With Auto Clean™
Over time, calcium deposits or "scale" may build up in your brewer. Scale is
non-toxic but if left unattended will hinder brewer performance and cause
premature failure. Regularly de-scaling your brewer helps to maintain quality
coffee as well as the lifespan of the heating element, and other internal parts
that come in contact with water throughout the brew process.
To make the de-scaling process as effortless as possible, an Auto Clean™
system has been programmed into your coffeemaker.
When should I use Auto Clean™?
You should clean your coffeemaker after every 60 brews (approximately 2
months). After 60 brews, the clean warning will be activated, and display
at the beginning of each brew cycle. "CLEAN" will scroll across the display
three times to remind you to clean the coffeemaker.
If you would like to clean your coffeemaker prior to 60 brew cycles because
of hard water, you may do so.
How do I use Auto Clean™?
Follow the simple steps below. Your coffeemaker will take care of the rest.
1.
Combine 6 cups of white vinegar and 4 cups of cold water in carafe.
2.
Pour into water reservoir.
3.
Make sure the lid of the carafe is in place and place empty carafe on
the carafe plate.
4.
Press and Hold the On/Off button for 4 seconds
5.
On/Off Button LED illuminates (no blinking)
6.
"CLEAN" scrolls through the display continuously and the Auto-Clean
cycle begins.
During the Auto-Clean Cycle Function:
1.
Machine will brew approximately 5 cups of cleaning solution
2.
Part of the mixture will brew through. Remaining mixture will be held in
coffeemaker for 30 minutes before completing its brew through.
3.
Machine will continue brewing remainder of cleaning solution
Note: The entire cleaning cycle will take 45–60 minutes to complete.
4.
When the coffeemaker completes the AUTO CLEAN cycle, it shuts off
automatically.
5.
Brew fresh water through appliance following instructions given in
GETTING STARTED before brewing coffee again.
