Cuisinart DGB-550 Series - Manual (Page 13)

Never use rough, abrasive materials or
cleansers to clean the warming plate. Do not
dry the inside of the water reservoir with a
cloth, as lint may remain.
*Note: Reservoir lid can also be removed for
easy cleaning. Open the lid 60° and gently pull
toward you. To replace, reverse steps, see
diagram.
DECALCIFICATION
Décalcification refers to removing the calcium
deposits which form over time on the metal
parts of the coffeemaker.
For best performance from your coffeemaker,
decalcify the base unit from time to time. The
frequency depends upon the hardness of your
tap water and how often you use the coffee­
maker.
To clean, fill the water reservoir to capac­
ity with a mixture of Vs white vinegar and
2/3
water. Turn the coffeemaker on by pressing
the On button. One cycle should be sufficient
to adequately clean the coffeemaker. When
the cycle is completed and the five beeps
sound, turn coffeemaker off. Repeat operation
this time using fresh cold water.
