HOW TO DESCALE / CLEAN Cuisinart 12 Cup Black Stainless Coffee Maker DCC-1220 FOR ONLY $1.50

[@andycowell608]

This is specifically the model DCC-1220WM. Cuisinart does not seem to have this manual on their website, so this video is much appreciated!

[@Patlovescozybooks]

I bought my coffeemaker just like yours 6 months ago and the clean button came on. I misplaced my manual and came across your video. I understood what to do. Thank you!

[@JustADad]

Glad I could help!

[@ericpetersen4254]

Same thing for me. I misplaced my manual and then the clean light came on. I basically knew you had to run 1/3 vinegar and 2/3 water through to clean. However, I didn't press the clean button and hold it. After the process, of course the light stayed on. This is how I found this video and now know oh that's why the light never went off.

[@maggierose1101]

Is this still available? Just saw your video

[@Patlovescozybooks]

​@@maggierose1101this is 3 years ago and not my video. Just follow what the man tells what to do.

[@sbstanf16]

Did anybody throw their instructions away, and then a few months later, that red light came on and you were like, "Ahhh, what do I do?" Thank the Lord for KZbinrs like you who show us how to do stuff!! 😂😂

[@SuzieKardos]

i keep coming back to this everytime i clean mine- keep forgetting it in between cleaning. Thank you!

[@JustADad]

Happy to help!

[@woodcider]

Thank you for this video! You’re much more comprehensive than the manual. It doesn’t mention that the brewing will start & stop at all.

[@rumers101]

Thank you. I just bought this machine about 6 months ago & my clean light kept coming on & didn’t know why. This is my first new coffee maker in 35 years & I never knew you had to clean them. I never cleaned my other one lol but my new machine I love & will clean when I change the filter. You are very detailed & explain everything. I’ll continue to watch your videos. It is now clean!!!

[@JustADad]

Thanks for watching and Glad it helped

[@lauredulany8212]

Same here!! And the instructions I got with the coffee pot did not instruct how to do this!!! Thanks so much for the video!!

[@irwinjimenez]

Holy crap, this was exactly what I was looking for.. Thank you. 🎉

[@JustADad]

You're very welcome!

[@mff2003]

I've owned a Cuisinart coffee maker for a couple years, and I never knew there was a clean button, thought it was just to tell me when it was time to run some vinegar through it lol thank you for your videos. I enjoy watching them watch them!

[@Screentimedaughter]

Thank God I found your video, I misplaced my instructions, the red light were coming on every day, at first I thought it were cleaning automatically 🙂 thankful I found your video, I love it, I never put my filter in it, until after I watched your video, after setting my cuisinart coffee maker up correctly, wow that first cup of coffee, I was missing the great taste coffee 👍this was a gift to me, ok take care☕️

[@LeoLeo-yo1hw]

[@janmarie3072]

Oh my gosh!!! The manual doesn’t say anything about the coffee maker stopping and starting back up. I thought mine wasn’t working right! So I kept pushing the button to make it start again. I was on my 4th pot of cleaning solution when I finally googled it. Most frustrating hour and 46 minutes of my life! I was ready to throw it out. Thank you

[@JustADad]

Oh no! Well at least it done now, Thanks for sharing!!!!

This was a good and useful video - thanks for creating it

[@tadah9840]

Thanks my red light has been going on and I couldn’t figure out how to clean it. I just kept running the vinegar through it, but the light kept coming on so thank you for posting this because I had that exact coffee maker, and it needed to be cleaned and I ran vinegar through it by the week ago and it still comes on so today right now I just did what you did and let’s see what happens. Thank you.😅

[@c-bass413]

Yeah my 'clean' red-light just came on & the manual isn't very helpful. Tyvm.

[@natevirtual]

Hi, amazing video! I've done it a few times this year already. Do you know where to get carbon filter replacements?

[@sylviawilson7297]

I got mine on Ebay; I think Amazon has them as well.

[@ryanmacewen511]

I bought this coffee maker around Christmas. It's been great so far. Just gotta locate the 'filter'. Mine came without one. I assume it's activated charcoal. Thanks for video. I got the light myself. Liked and subscribed.

Great to hear!

I’ve had two of these, when I push the clean button. It’s starts, then the button quits flashing and that’s it. It does do anything more.

[@katsmeow1747]

Found my manual page 10 1/3 white vinegar 2/3 water. Got it as a gift 2 years ago, been using it 3 months clean light came on. Had no idea about the clean mode. I have never spent more than $20 bucks for coffee maker, hopefully this will last a long time.

[@lauradodson8147]

Thank you so much! I have been wondering why my clean light keeps coming on(lost my manual!), 1?, my clean light only comes on after brewing a pot, does that mean the same thing?

[@JustADad]

Yes

My light is blinking but nothing is happening at all. It isn’t cleaning or brew. Help.

[@keystoneshawn]

Thank you for the demonstration and explanation. This isn't described anywhere in the instruction booklet. All it says is "Clean Button, press to activate CLEAN function". I guess they figure no one reads the instructions, so why bother documenting it.

[@JustADad]

I know right! thanks for watching and I am glad it helped!

[@aishabrooks8152]

Hi! Thank you for this. One question. Where do I get replacement filters?

[@zairamedina424]

I got them off Amazon

[@ceasergert2780]

How do ya reset the clean light?????

[@JustADad]

Did you do the descaling procedure according to my video. If your light is still on after that, then the manual says to do another descale with vinegar.

[@ceasergert2780]

Hay Big Dad I want to thank you so much my wife was having a tizzy over the light staying on so I took charge of the operation with you turned on y tube and did step by step and BAM no more light I want to thank you for going beyond the call of duty thank you😃😃😃👍👍👍👍
