The “Single Server” must be decalcified periodically.  Over time, mineral deposits 
build up on internal parts and effect the operation of the appliance.  The 
frequency of decalcification depends on the hardness of your water and how 
often you use the “Single Server.”  Indications that decalcifying is necessary are:

 

o

 

Increased noise during use

 

o

 Excessive 

steaming

 

o

 

Longer brewing times

 

o

 

The pumping action stops before all of the water has been 
pumped from the water reservoir

 

•  If usage is regular, decalcifying should be carried out as follows: 

o

 

With soft water, decalcify once per year 

o

 

With medium water, decalcify every 3 months 

o

 

With hard water, decalcify monthly 

•  We recommend the use of vinegar for decalcifying. 

 

1.  Pour 12 ounces of fresh, cool, undiluted white household vinegar into the 

water reservoir.  NOTE: Do not use coffee grounds and do not dilute 
vinegar with water. 

2.  Place an adequately sized cup suitable for hot liquids in place on the 

“Single Server.” 

3.  Press the “START” button. 

4.  When the brew cycle is complete and the “Singel Server” has cooled, 

repeat the process above except use clear, cool water in place of vinegar to 
rinse any remaining traces of the vinegar from the system.  Repeat twice 
using clean, cool water each time.
