“I noticed last week that the clean light won't stop flashing. I've tried every combination of button pressing and my coffee is weaker than expected. There isn't any direction to get the coffee maker out of clean mode. Does anybody else have this problem?”

Robert’s suggestion was great, but it took me a few minutes to understand the process properly. I wanted to add the additional steps since my Bella Pro Series touch screen operated a little differently. 1. Fill the reservoir with a descaling solution (can be store bought or a homemade white vinegar/water mix). 2. Press the “Brew-Off” button to start the cleaning cycle. The “Clean” indicator will become steady (see picture #1). 3. Hold down the “Hour” and “Minute” buttons until it beeps and there is only the flashing “Brew-Off” remaining. 4. Allow the pot to brew your descaling solution. *Note: Brewing may slow down or pause repeatedly throughout the cleaning cycle. This will take a very long time compared to a typical coffee brewing cycle. This step should also clear the flashing “Clean” indicator (see picture #2). 5. Discard and repeat with descaling solution until discolored water runs clear. If you have done the cleaning cycle previous to this step, you may speed up additional cycles with a regular brew cycle. However, if it has been too long since a routine cleaning the descaling may not be as effective. 6. Repeat with clean water until you no longer smell solution. This is easy to detect if you are running a white vinegar descaling solution through your device. This rinse cycle can be done on a normal brew cycle since you are just ensuring any residual solution is purged.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Press and hold the hour and minute button until all buttons except the brew button turns off.
