Descalcificación
Over time, mineral deposits (calcification) can build up in your coffeemaker, affecting performance and coffee taste. The KRUPS 453-4C features an electronic warning to indicate when decalcifying is needed. Although residual water is removed when brewing is complete to minimize calcification, regular decalcification is important.
- Prepare Decalcifying Solution: Mix a solution of white vinegar and water (e.g., 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water) or use a commercial decalcifying agent specifically designed for coffeemakers. Refer to the product's instructions for exact ratios.

Nota: Replacement water filters can be ordered separately to maintain water quality.
