CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the Coffee Maker_
Calcium deposits (scale) from water will build up in the Coffee Maker heat pump over time and impair brewing efficiency and coffee quality. If you notice that it takes longer than usual to brew, or that the Coffee Maker is making unusual noises, then it is time to descale. The “Clean” indicator will flash when the Coffee Maker has brewed 100 cups of coffee, or detects scale buildup. Descaling should be done as soon as possible to preserve the performance and life of your Coffee Maker.

NOTE: The Coffee Maker can be descaled using a vinegar and water solution, or by using a packaged descaling agent. Always mix the descaling solution using cool water.
When using vinegar, fill the carafe with a solution consisting of ½ vinegar and ½ water.
When using a descaling agent, follow the directions on the package for the recommended ratios of descaling agent and water to use.
The Coffee Maker should be run through a complete Clean cycle using a full tank of the descaling solution.
1 | Before descaling, always remove the |
water filter (see the “Installing the | |
| Water Filter” section) and make sure |
| the brew basket contains no coffee or |
| coffee filters. |

flash: Press the MODE button 2 times. |
The “Reg” indicator will go off, and the “Clean” indicator will turn on.

sound and the “Brew” indicator will |
light up. The “Clean” indicator will stay on and the Clean cycle will begin.
