caused by a buildup 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 cleaning.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The
following table gives the suggested cleaning intervals.
Your coffeemaker may be cleaned by using MR. COFFEE CLEANER or
vinegar. For best results, use MR. COFFEE CLEANER. It is superior to vine-

Decanter Cleaning
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the decanter. Coffee
and tea discolor these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside
the decanter. To remove these stains, follow these simple steps:
1.
Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.
2.
Let solution stand in decanter for about 20 minutes and then discard.
3.
Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use
harsh abrasive cleaners. These will cause scratches which can lead
to breakage.
