Setting Up Your Single-Serve; Coffeemaker - Cuisinart Coffee Center SS-16 Series Instruction Booklet

To Descale Your Coffeemaker
Depending on the mineral content of water in
your area, calcium deposits (scale) may build
up in your coffeemaker. Though scale is not
toxic, it can affect performance. Descaling the
coffeemaker when the indicator signals it is
time to do so will help protect the heating
element and other parts that come into contact
with water.
For optimal performance, descale coffeemaker
every three to six months. If calcium deposits
build up faster, the CLEAN button indicator
light will illuminate, indicating the coffeemaker
should be descaled.
To clean:
1. Fill the water reservoir to capacity with a
1
mixture of ⁄ white vinegar and

2. Turn the function knob to BREW, and
press and hold the CLEAN button. When
the CLEAN LED indicator flashes, the
coffeemaker is in CLEAN mode. Release
the button.
3. When the cycle is completed, five beeps
will sound and the coffeemaker will shut
off.
4. If the CLEAN indicator illuminates once
more, repeat the cleaning procedure with
a fresh solution of vinegar and water.
NOTE: One cleaning cycle is usually
sufficient.
5. When the CLEAN indicator remains off,
run one cycle with a full reservoir of fresh
cold water to rinse the unit.
6. Return the charcoal water filter to the
holder inside the water reservoir and your
coffeemaker is ready to brew!
MAINTENANCE
Any other servicing should be performed by
