Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and non-abrasive detergent is recommended. For deliming, which should be performed at least every 6 months (or monthly for hard water):

• Mix 10 oz. of lemon juice with 32 oz. of water and pour into the reservoir.
• Run a brewing cycle as if brewing coffee.
• If the unit stops working, a deliming spring may be needed to clear the spray head.
