Why does my Black and Decker coffee maker say clean?

You should clean your coffeemaker after every 60 brews (approximately 2 months). After 60 brews, the clean warning will be activated, and display at the beginning of each brew cycle. “CLEAN” will scroll across the display three times to remind you to clean the coffeemaker.
