Cuisinart WCH-1500 manual Cleaning and care, Troubleshooting, Symptom Possible Cause Solution

•Regular use of cleaner, filtered water in your automatic coffeemaker means less frequent decalcification treatments.

•Use filtered water in your iron to reduce mineral build-up.

•Treat your pets to cleaner, filtered water.

•Cleaner, filtered water makes tea and instant soup or coffee taste better.

•Keeping the upper tank full helps increase the filtering process as well as the flow rate of water from spigots.

•Proper setup of the filter (as instructed on page 4) will maximize the reduction of contaminants and optimize taste of water.

•You may notice some condensation and water droplets on the lid and tanks of your unit. This is normal due to the heating and cooling system.
