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. 13
