HOW TO USE THE CLEAN FUNCTION

Calcium build-up frequently occurs in drip coffee makers. This build-up is normal
and is caused by minerals commonly found in drinking water. We recommend
decalcifying your coffee maker four times a year, and more often as needed.
You'll know your coffee maker needs decalcifying when you notice an obvious
slowing of the brewing time. We suggest using a mixture of vinegar and water to
remove calcium or other mineral deposits that may form. Here's how:
1. Insert filter holder without a filter.
2. Put 2 tablespoons of white vinegar in the carafe then fill the carafe to the
12-cup line with cold water. Pour this solution into the water reservoir. Place
carafe on heating plate.
3. Press the Clean button.
4. When the Clean cycle is finished, let the coffee maker cool for 10 minutes,
then empty the carafe and rinse with water.
5. Using just cold water and no filter, run the coffee maker through two brew
cycles to rinse out any remaining vinegar solution.
NOTE: After 60 uses, the light above the Clean button will flash as a
reminder to decalcify the coffee maker. It will continue to flash until the
machine has gone through the Clean cycle.
