HOW TO DECALCIFY YOUR COFFE 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. We
recommend decalcifying your coffee maker four times a year, and more often
as needed. You’ll know your coffee maker needs decalcifying when you notice
an obvious slowing of the brewing time. We suggest using a mixture of vinegar
and water to remove calcium or other mineral deposits that may form. Here’s
how:
1. Put 2 tablespoons of white vinegar in the carafe then fill the carafe to the
12-cup line with cold water.
2. Pour this solution into the water reservoir.
3. Follow normal brewing operation but without coffee or a filter in the filter
holder.
4. When the brew cycle is finished, empty the carafe and rinse with water.
Let coffee maker cool for 10 minutes.
5. Refill the water reservoir with cold water only and repeat the cycle, with
water only, two more times to rinse out any remaining vinegar solution.
