DESCALING THE COFFEE MAKER
After using your coee maker for a while, limescale will begin to build
up inside the machine. It is important to descale your appliance every

vinegar.

• Use a soft sponge and baking soda to remove stains from the Carafe.
If the stains remain, mix 1 cup water, 1 cup vinegar and ¼ cup of baking
soda and allow it to sit in the Carafe overnight.

• Make sure all parts are clean and dry.
• Store in a clean and dry place.
