It will also depend upon how often you use your coffee maker.
An automatic sensor has been built into your ProAroma 12 Time which will indicate when your coffee maker needs decalcifying by displaying the message “CALC”. This sensor is extremely sensitive and the “CALC” message may appear briefly in the display under certain circumstances. This is of no importance, however, and should be ignored. Decalcification is necessary only when “CALC” appears repeatedly or permanently in the display.The “CALC” display will remain visible until the “on/off” key is pressed. You should now decalcify the coffeemaker. We recommend using KRUPS original decalcifying agent for cleaning your KRUPS coffeemaker. When used in accordance with the following instruc- tions, it will prolong the life of your coffeemaker.
How to decalcify
Dissolve contents of decalcifier in two cups of cold tap water. Pour solution into the water tank, then place the empty carafe and filterbasket in place. Press the “aroma” button. Now select the
Rinse by cycling clean water through twice, pausing and turning the coffeemaker “off” for a few minutes in
between each rinse session.

ACaution
KRUPS decalcifying agent is a citric acid which is harmless. However, we recommend keeping it out of the reach of children.
Do not take internally. If swallowed accidently, drink several glasses of water or milk and consult your doctor.
For best results . . .
. . . always use fresh, cold water (warm water might be stale and have mineral deposits which would Impair the flavor of the coffee).
. . . we recommend that you grind your own beans. Freshly ground beans deliver more aroma and flavor. Use one KRUPS measuring spoon of beans per cup.
. . . serve coffee immediately after brewing.
. . . never reheat coffee.
nThe power cord can be tailored to the length required by utilising the hidden cord storage located underneath the coffee maker (see figure 15).
