For best performance from your Cuisinart® coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit from time to time. The frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the coffeemaker. To decalcify, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of 1⁄3 white vinegar and 2⁄3 water. T urn the coffeemaker on by pressing the "On" rocker switch. One cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean the coffeemaker. T urn the coffeemaker to OFF and then run one cycle of fresh cold water through the unit before using the unit again to brew coffee.
