Cleaning Instructions

Hand wash the carafe, removable water reservoir, and filter basket in hot, soapy

water. Dry thoroughly. When cleaning carafe, user should thoroughly rinse both

the carafe and the carafe lid. Wipe unit with a damp cloth and avoid using harsh

cleaners. Placing parts/accessories in the dishwasher is not recommended.

Serving

For serving coffee, from the closed l position half turn

counterclockwise to the open m position on the carafe lid.

Close carafe by turning clockwise to the closed l position

to allow heat to stay contained. Turning the lid past the

recommended open position may result in over pour or spill.

Caution, will be very hot, steam may rise when opening.

Removing calcium build-up

Calcium deposits from water may build-up in your Viking Professional Coffee

Maker and should be removed to maintain brewing efficiency and coffee quality.

As a rule, calcium build-up should be removed every two to three months. Local

water conditions or more frequent use of coffee maker may require more frequent

calcium removal.

Fill carafe one quarter full of vinegar, and then add cold tap water to the

top. Pour the water/vinegar mixture into water reservoir. Replace reservoir

into unit.

Place the empty carafe under the spray head and follow regular brewing

instructions. After the water/vinegar mixture has been cycled through, turn

the machine off.

Rinse by cycling two to three more carafes of plain cold tap water or until

vinegar is gone.

Do not pour any liquid other than cold tap water with vinegar into water

reservoir while cleaning.

When “dcl” is shown on screen, descaling must be
performed. Failure to descale may damage unit and
void warranty.

Once decalcification has been completed and coffee maker has been flushed with clear

water, the flashing “dcl” can be removed from the display by pressing and holding the

BREW button.
