To maintain the performance of your coffee maker, we recommend decalcifying at

Pour this water and vinegar mixture into water tank, then place the jug on the
platform and turn the unit ON. Allow to steam and drip until tank is empty. Turn the
unit off. Let the coffee maker run for two more times with fresh water to remove any
vinegar and scale residue.
