11. DECALCIFYING
For prolonged use of your appliance it is necessary to decalcify
regularly. Calcium (limestone) found in drinking water will leave
deposits in the machine. We highly recommend that you decalci-
fy your coffee maker at least every four months.
ATTENTION: Before decalcifying, remove the GoldTone filter, the
water filtration container and the charcoal filter. Do not place the
GoldTone filter or filter paper in the filter holder insert.
When to Decalcify:
A slowdown in brewing indicates calcium deposits are present in
the coffee maker.
How to Decalcify:
With Vinegar:
Fill the water container with approximately 40 oz. (8-cups) of
water and 6 tablespoons of citric acid or white vinegar and
operate the appliance twice.
After decalcifying, let the appliance run twice with plain water.
This will rinse away any remaining vinegar.
Rinse the carafe with lukewarm water and clean the filter holder
and the water chamber in a warm water and mild liquid soap
solution.
You can also use any of the decalcifying agents available for
drip coffee makers from your local coffee store or supermarket.
Follow their enclosed instructions.
Note: Decalcifiers are acids and therefore must be handled
properly. Please check the information on the packaging of the
decalcifying agents before using.
