How can I clean and maintain my Marta MT-2140 coffee maker?

[StSpencer]

Keeping your Marta MT-2140 electric coffee pot clean ensures it brews delicious coffee for years. Here’s how to clean and descale it: First, for the exterior, always unplug the appliance and let it cool. Wipe the outside with a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. For descaling, which is best done weekly, use citric acid or the juice of one lemon. Mix the acid/lemon juice with water, filling the pot halfway. Then, run the mixture through the brewing cycle two to three times. Finally, rinse the coffee pot thoroughly and wipe it clean with a soft cloth.
