Mineral Deposits/
Decalcifying
Your Coffee Maker must be cleaned when you begin to notice
excessive steaming or the brewing time increases considerably.
This condition is caused by a build-up of lime and mineral deposits
from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water
has been pumped out of the machine, then the appliance requires
decalcification.
The frequency of decalcification depends on the hardness of water
used. The following table gives the suggested decalcification intervals:
Suggested Decalcification Interval
T
YPE OF WATER FREQUENCY OF DECALCIFICATION
Soft water every 80 brewing cycles
Hard water every 40 brewing cycles
