CLEANING AND CARE
DECALCIFYING
Calcium build-up frequently occurs in coffee makers. This build-up is quite
normal and is caused by minerals commonly found in drinking water. Your
coffee maker will need to be descaled every 2-3 months to remove any
calcium or mineral deposits that might have formed.
We recommend decalcifying your pod coffee maker with a solution of
regular white vinegar and cold water. Use a solution of 2 tablespoons (30
mL) white vinegar in one mug of cold water.
Pour the vinegar solution into the water reservoir. Insert capsule basket into
place and close the hinged lid and put the empty mug in place. Do not use
the reusable capsule.
Switch the pod coffee maker on and allow it to "BREW" the vinegar
solution. When the vinegar solution has finished "brewing", empty the mug
and rinse with clean water.
Refill your mug with clean, cold water and run a second "BREW" cycle. This
will rinse out any remaining vinegar solution. If necessary, you may want to
repeat this last step.
The frequency of decalcifying will depend on the hardness of your water. In
normal water conditions, we suggest decalcifying your pod coffee maker
every 2-3 months. In hard water conditions, we suggest decalcifying your
pod coffee maker every 1-2 months.
