You can likely continue to make coffee, but with impaired performance, and you should not use it under those conditions. The decalcifying instructions are at http://bit.ly/21QIrkQ--you need to make sure you've followed them precisely. If you've done so with no change, your replacement unit is defective and should (again) be replaced.
