DECALCIFYING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
Calcium build-up frequently occurs in drip coffee makers. This build-up is normal and
is caused by minerals commonly found in drinking water. Periodically, your coffee
maker will need cleaning to remove any calcium or mineral deposits that may form.
You will know when décalcification is needed when an obvious slow down in
brewing time is noticeable.
We recommend decalcifying your unit with a solution of white vinegar and cold
water. A solution of two tablespoons of white vinegar to one carafe of cold water
works best. Without using a filter (permanent or paper) in the basket holder, pour
this solution into the water reservoir and follow your normal operating instructions.
When the brew cycle is finished, empty the carafe and rinse with water. Refill the
water reservoir with cold water only and repeat the brew cycle with water only,
twice more. This wilt rinse out any remaining vinegar solution. Décalcification is
recommend 4 times a year.
