DECALCIFICATION

Decalcification refers to removing the calcium deposits which form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker.

For best performance from your coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit from time to time. The frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the coffeemaker.

To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of 1³ of white vinegar and ²⁄³ water. Press the Grind Off button, and turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the On button. One cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean the coffeemaker. When the cycle is completed and the five beeps sound, turn coffeemaker off. Repeat operation, this time using fresh cold water.
