Decalcification
8. Calcium deposits may build up in the coffee maker as a result of
minerals commonly found in drinking water. The build-up is normal
and may result in a slow down of the coffee maker's brewing time.
The slow down can be eliminated by periodically decalcifying the
coffee maker. NOTE: Always remove the water filter and water filter
holder before decalcifying.
9. To decalcify, fill the carafe with cold water and two tablespoons of
white vinegar. Pour the solution into the water reservoir, and then
close the lid. Place the carafe on the plate and allow the
coffee maker to brew the vinegar solution. While decalcifying, do not
use a filter in the filter basket. When the vinegar solution has finished
brewing, empty the carafe and rinse it out with cold water. Refill the
water reservoir with cold water only and run another brew cycle to
remove any remaining vinegar solution. Repeat if necessary.
