Auto AM 12PM x Brew/Cancel REMOVING MINERAL DEPOSITS Calcium deposits (scale) from water will build up in the Coffee Maker over time and impair brewing efficiency and coffee quality. If you notice that it takes longer than usual to brew or that the Coffee Maker is making unusual noises, then it is time to descale. The "Clean" indicator will flash when the Coffee Maker has completed 100 brew cycles. Descaling should be done as soon as possible to preserve the performance and life of your Coffee Maker. NOTE: The Coffee Maker can be descaled using a vinegar and water solution, or by using a packaged descaling agent, like Affresh®. Always mix the descaling solution using cool water. 1 Auto 1 AM Auto SetB1rew/Cancel Hour Auto Set 2 Plate Temp Bold Minute Plate Timer Clean Cool water 2 Vinegar 12 | CARE AND CLEANING W11299037A_V2_Final.indb 12 Before descaling, always make sure the brew basket contains no coffee grounds, gold tone filter or any cone paper filters.
