Cleaning Is A Must

Your coffeemaker must be delimed when you begin to notice an increase in steaming. If the pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the machine, then the appliance requires deliming.

The frequency of cleaning depends upon the hardness of water used. The following table gives the recommended cleaning intervals.

RECOMMENDED CLEANING SCHEDULE

Type of Water	Cleaning Frequency
Soft water	every 100 brew cycles
Hard water	every 50 brew cycles

1.Use a hot white vinegar solution and let it soak.

2.Let it stand for about 20 minutes and then discard.

3.Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners. These will cause scratches which can lead to breakage.
