DESCALING THE COFFEE MAKER • After using your coffee maker for a while, limescale will begin to build up inside the machine. It is important to descale your appliance every 2-3 months. If the machine is used daily, the descaling process should be done monthly. • Plug the appliance into a wall outlet. • Mix equal parts vinegar and water and pour it into the coffee maker. • Switch the power on to start the brewing process. • When the brewing process is complete, fill up the coffee maker with water and begin brewing again. This is to rinse it of any remaining vinegar. • You may have to run one more cycle of brewing water to remove the vinegar odor. • To remove deep stains from the carafe, clean it with a soft sponge and baking soda. If the stains have not been removed, mix 1 cup water and 1 cup vinegar with ¼ cup of baking soda and allow it to sit overnight.
