8. Descaling

• Calcium build-up frequently occurs in drip
coffeemakers. This build-up is normal and is
caused by minerals commonly found in
drinking water. Periodically, your coffeemaker
will need cleaning to remove calcium or
mineral deposits that may form. You will know
when your unit will need descaling when you
notice an obvious slow down in brewing time.
• We recommend descaling your unit with a
solution of white vinegar and cold water or a
suitable descaling agent. A solution of two
tablespoons of white vinegar to one carafe of
cold water works best. Pour this solution into
the water tank, and follow your normal
operating instructions, without a filter in the
filter basket.
• When the brew cycle is finished, empty the
carafe and rinse with water. Refill the water
reservoir with cold water only and repeat the
brew cycle with water only, twice more. This
will rinse out any remaining vinegar solution.

holder in hot, soapy water or place it in the top
rack of the diswasher.
• Clean with a soft cloth or a damp sponge.
Never use harsh detergents or abrasive
cleaners on any part of the coffee maker.
• To clean the stainless steel parts of your coffee
maker, rinse a soft cloth or sponge in warm
water and squeeze out the excess water. Wipe
the surface of the stainless steel in the
direction of the brush marks. Dry thoroughly
and polish with a soft dry cloth.
• For hard to remove stains, use a plastic mesh
pad or cloth damped in vinegar.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or
place it under running water.
