Suggested Decalcifying Interval
Type of Water Cleaning Frequency
Soft Water Every 80 Brew Cycles
Hard Water Every 40 Brew Cycles
Water Filtration Disk Replacement
Your water filtration disk will need to be replaced once a month (approx. 30 brew cycles). If the
machine will not be in use for an extended period of time, rinse the water filter with running water
and clean the coffeemaker before use.
Cleaning the Decanter
Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter, and coffee may then turn this stain brown.
To remove decanter stains:
1. Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts water and vinegar and let the solution stand in
the decanter for approximately 20 minutes.
2. Discard the solution, then wash and rinse the decanter.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners that may scratch the decanter, scratches may cause the decanter
to break.
NOTE: Do not place Thermal carafe in the dishwasher.
