AUTO CLEAN™ SYSTEM
De-scaling With Auto Clean™
Over time, calcium deposits or "scale" may build up in your brewer. Scale is
non-toxic but if left unattended can hinder brewer performance and cause
premature failure. Regularly de-scaling your brewer helps to maintain quality
coffee as well as the lifespan of the heating element, and other internal parts
that come in contact with water throughout the brew process.
To make the de-scaling process as effortless as possible, an Auto Clean
system has been programmed into your coffeemaker.
When should I use Auto Clean?
After every 60 brews, "CL" will be displayed and blink. This notifies you it is
time to run the Auto Clean system. "CL" will be displayed until you run the
Auto Clean system. If you would like to clean your coffeemaker prior to 60
brew cycles, you may do so by following the steps below.
Please note: If the unit is unplugged, the counter that keeps track of
reminding you to clean your coffeemaker will reset to 0.
If you have unplugged the coffeemaker, or if there have been power
outages, we recommend cleaning the unit once a month.
