Cleaning Is A Must

Your coffeemaker must be delimed when you begin to notice an

increase in steaming. If the pumping action stops before all the

water has been pumped out of the machine, then the appliance

requires deliming.

The frequency of cleaning depends upon the hardness of water
used. The following table gives the recommended cleaning
intervals.

.

RECOMMENDED CLEANING SCHEDULE.

Type of Water

Cleaning Frequency

Soft water every 80 brew cycles

Hard water every 40 brew cycles

Your coffeemaker may be delimed by using MR. COFFEE

or vinegar. For best results, use MR. COFFEE

CLEANER. It works better than vinegar and has no unpleasant

odor.
