Decalcifying Your Single-Serve Coffee Maker - Westbend 56901 Manual De Instrucciones

ECALCIFYING
The Single-Serve Coffee Maker must be decalcified periodically. Over time, mineral
deposits build up on internal parts and effect the operation of the appliance. The
frequency of decalcification depends on the hardness of your water and how often
you use the coffee maker. Indications that decalcifying is necessary are:
o Increased noise during use
o Excessive steaming
o Longer brewing times
o The pumping action stops before all of the water has been pumped from the
water reservoir
• If usage is regular, decalcifying should be carried out as follows:
o With soft water, decalcify once every month
o With medium water, decalcify every 2 weeks
o With hard water, decalcify every week
• We recommend the use of vinegar for decalcifying.
1. Pour 14 ounces of fresh, cool, undiluted white household vinegar into the
water reservoir. NOTE: Do not use coffee grounds and do not dilute vinegar
with water.
2. Place an adequately sized cup suitable for hot liquids in place on the drip tray.
3. Press the power button.
4. When the brew cycle is complete and the Single-Serve Coffee Maker has
cooled, repeat the process above except use clear, cool water in place of
vinegar to rinse any remaining traces of the vinegar from the system. Repeat
twice using clean, cool water each time.
