For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not

DECALCIFYING YOUR COFFEEMAKER
z
Calcium deposits may build up in the Coffeemaker as a result of minerals commonly
found in drinking water. The build-up is normal and may result in longer brewing
times. This slow down can be eliminated by periodically decalcifying the Coffeemaker.
We recommend decalcifying your unit with Gevalia Cleancaf Cleaner & Descaler.
Nontoxic, biodegradable and odorless Cleancaf is a quick and easy way to keep
coffeemakers clean, fresh and odor free. Use bi-monthly to remove or prevent oil
residue and mineral buildup. You can order Cleancaf by calling 1-800-GEVALIA
(1-800-438-2542) or visiting us at

A solution of two tablespoons of white vinegar to one carafe of cold water
may also be used to decalcify. Pour the solution into the Water Reservoir,
and then close the Hinged Reservoir Lid. Place the Glass Carafe securely
on the Warming Plate and allow the Coffeemaker to brew the vinegar
solution. Once it has finished brewing, empty the Glass Carafe and rinse it
out with cold water. Refill the Water Reservoir with cold water only and run
another new cycle to remove any remaining residue.
