Cleaning Needed Indicator

Calcium deposits (scale) from water will
build up in the coffee maker heat pump over
time and impair brewing efficiency and
coffee quality. When the coffee maker needs
to be cleaned, the "*Clean" indicator will
flash after a brewing cycle is complete.
Once this occurs, descaling should be done
as soon as possible to preserve the
performance and life of your coffee maker.
NOTE: You may want to clean your coffee
maker prior to the "Cleaning Needed"
indicator flashing under heavy use or hard
water conditions.
1. Before descaling, always remove the
water filter (see the "Installing the Water
Filter" section) and make sure the brew
basket contains no coffee or coffee
filters.
2. Run the coffee maker through a
complete Clean cycle using a full tank of
the descaling solution.
NOTE: If you do not complete the
programming steps within 10 seconds, the
settings will be maintained and the coffee
maker will exit to the default mode.
