the performance of the Brewer. When this is detected, the red light next
to 'DE-SCALE' will be illuminated. (fig. 10) However, even if the red light next
to 'DE-SCALE' is not illuminated you should continue to de-scale your
Brewer every  to  months.
You should promptly de-scale if 'DE-SCALE' is displayed on the LCD Control
Center. Properly follow the de-scaling procedure described.
NOTE: The Brewer will continue to function even when 'DE-SCALE' is displayed.
However, if you do not de-scale soon after it is displayed, continued scale build-
up could damage the Brewer. If this occurs, 'DE-SCALE' will begin to blink to alert
you to the potential damage to the Brewer if you do not de-scale immediately.

Mineral content in water varies from place to
place. Depending on the mineral content of the
water in your area, calcium deposits or scale
may build up in your Brewer. Scale is non-toxic,

performance. De-scaling your Brewer helps
maintain the heating element, and other
internal parts of the Brewer that come in
contact with water.
The Brewer should be de-scaled every -
months to ensure optimal performance. It is
possible for calcium deposits to build up faster,
making it necessary to de-scale more often.
This Brewer is equipped with sensors to
detect when scale buildup is interfering with
