Cleaning light will not turn off after descaling my ss-20 Duo Coffee maker. This is the "clean" light on the coffee pot side not the single cup side.

If the self clean light begins to flash when your Cuisinart coffeemaker is turned on, it is telling you that the calcium buildup is interfering with the functioning of your coffeemaker and the flavor of your coffee. To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of ¹/³ white vinegar and ²/³ water. Press the Self Clean button. When the self clean light glows, turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the flip switch to On. The self clean light will shine steadily. The coffeemaker is now in self clean mode. One cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean the coffeemaker. When the cycle is completed and the five beeps sound, the coffeemaker will shut off. Turn the coffeemaker on to see if the self clean light continues to flash. If it does, turn it off and then repeat the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of vinegar and water. If the self clean light no longer flashes, turn the coffeemaker off and then run one cycle of fresh cold water through the unit before using the unit again to brew coffee.

I hope this is helpful to you!
