AUTO CLEAN® SYSTEM

De-scaling With Auto Clean™

Over time, calcium deposits or “scale” may build up in your brewer. Scale is non-toxic but if left unattended can hinder brewer performance. Regularly de-scaling your brewer helps to maintain quality coffee as well as the lifespan of the heating element, and other internal parts that come in contact with water throughout the brew process.

To make the de-scaling process as effortless as possible, an Auto Clean™ system has been programmed into your coffeemaker.

When should I use Auto Clean™?

After every 60 brews, the word “CLEAN” will be displayed and blink. This notifies you it is time to run the Auto Clean™ system. “CLEAN” will be displayed until you run the Auto Clean™ system. If you want to clean your c 60 brew cycles, you may do so by following the steps below.
