The Cleaning Needed Indicator

Calcium deposits (“scale”) from water will build up in the Coffee Maker heat pump over time and impair brewing efficiency and coffee quality. When the Coffee Maker detects a build-up of scale, the cleaning needed indicator will light after a brewing cycle is complete. Once this occurs, descaling should be done as soon as possible to preserve the performance and life of your Coffee Maker. Please see page 15 for descaling steps.
