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
