your coffeemaker .
note: Before decalcifying your coffeemaker, remember
to remove the charcoal water filter from the water filter
holder located in the water reservoir .
If the Clean light begins to flash when the coffeemaker

see if the Clean light continues to flash . If it does, turn it
off and then repeat the cleaning procedure with a fresh
solution of vinegar and water .

off and then run one cycle of fresh cold water through
the unit before using the unit again to brew coffee .
