decalcification

Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium deposits that form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker.

For best performance from your Cuisinart® 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 decalcify, fill the water reservoir to capac- ity with a mixture of 1⁄3 white vinegar and 2⁄3 water. Turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the Power button. One cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean the coffeemaker. Turn the coffeemaker off by pressing the Power button and then run one cycle of fresh cold water through the unit before using the unit again to brew coffee.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
