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 5-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
1. Using a store-bought coffee maker descaler, fill the Water Tank to the MAX level with
a solution of water and descaler in accordance with the descaler instructions.
2. Place a coffee filter into the Filter Basket (without coffee grounds), close
the Top Cover, and place the Carafe onto the Warming Plate.
3. Press the ON/OFF button. The BREW indicator light will
illuminate and begin the brewing cycle.
4. When finished brewing, turn off the coffee maker.
5. Allow the solution to sit for 15 minutes, then discard the
solution. Repeat steps 1-4 one more time.
