Time to Clean Indicator, Some Dos and Donts

Time to Clean Indicator

When the "Time to Clean" indicator is flashing, decalcification is required.

To maintain the performance of your coffee maker, we recommend decalcifying at least once every 3 months or whenever brewing process slows down. Pour one quart of white vinegar into jug. Add cold water until the jug is filled, to max level.

Pour this water and vinegar mixture into water tank, then place the jug on the platform and turn the unit ON. Allow to steam and drip until tank is empty. Turn the unit off. Let the coffee maker run for two more times with fresh water to remove any vinegar and scale residue.
