2.Dissolve two spoonfuls of citrus acid (about 1 oz.) and pour the solution into the drip coffee water tank;

3.Place the carafe on the warming plate;

4.Press the drip coffee ON/OFF switch, percolate the equivalent of one cup and then switch off the appliance;

5.Leave the solution to work for 15 minutes. Repeat operations 4 and 5 again.

6.Turn the appliance on and run off the water until the tank is completely empty.

7.Rinse by operating the appliance with water only at least 3 times (3 complete tanks of water).
