Mineral Deposits / Decalcifying
Minerals found in water, such as calcium and limstone, will leave deposits in your coffee
maker and affect its performance. To keep your RETRO SERIES™ 12-CUP COFFEE MAKER
operating efficiently, it is recommended that you regularly remove these deposits.
The frequency is dependent upon whether you are using
hard or soft water, and how often you brew.
Suggested Decalcifying Interval
• Soft water.............Every 80 Brew Cycles
• Hard Water...........Every 40 Brew Cycles
