Never immerse the heating plate or main housing in water or any other liquid. Do
not try to clean the inside of the water chamber with a cloth, this will leave a
residue of lint and may clog your coffee maker. Just rinse with cold water
periodically.
Mineral Deposits and Decalcifying
Mineral deposit build-up frequently occurs in coffee makers. This build-up is quite
normal and is caused by minerals commonly found in drinking water.
Periodically, your coffee maker will need cleaning to remove any mineral
deposits that may form. Excessive steaming or prolonged brewing cycle is a sign
that your coffee maker needs decalcifying. During decalcifying, more steaming
will occur than while brewing coffee.
