of ¹⁄³ white vinegar and ²⁄³ water. Press and hold the CLEAN button; when light comes on, turn the coffeemaker on. Five beeps sound when Clean cycle is complete; unit will shut off. Turn unit back on and if Clean light flashes, repeat the process; if not, run a brew cycle with water only. Unit is then ready to use

Cleaning Your Hot Water System:

We recommend you decalcify your hot water system twice a year.
Dispense any water in your reservoir until the Add Water displays on LCD. Add 32 ounces of white vinegar. Dispense 16 ounces of vinegar and discard; this will fill the inner tank. Let unit sit for 20 minutes, then turn off and allow hot vinegar to cool. Drain internal reservoir over sink by removing water release tab on bottom of unit. When vinegar has completely drained, replace tab. Refill reservoir with water and drain water as directed above. Unit is now ready to use.
