Cleaning Instructions

Your coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive steaming or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a buildup of lime and mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the machine, then the appliance requires cleaning.

The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The fol- lowing table gives the suggested cleaning intervals.

SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVAL

Type of	Water	Cleaning		Frequency
Soft	Water	every	80	brew	cycles
Hard	Water	every	40	brew	cycles
