Descaling
Regular descaling will prolong the life of your appliance and will guarantee optimal brewing results for a long time.
In case of normal use, descale the appliance:
-2 or 3 times a year if you are using soft water (up to 18 dH);
-4 or 5 times a year if you are using hard water (over 18 dH). Turn to your local water board for information about the water hardness in your area.
1Fill the water tank with white vinegar (4% acetic acid). Do not put a filter or coffee in the filter holder.
2Let the appliance run twice.
You can use the same vinegar for both runs.
3Let the appliance complete two more runs with fresh, cold water to remove any vinegar and scale residues.
4Clean the separate parts (see chapter 'Cleaning').
BYou can also use an appropriate liquid descaler. In that case, follow the instructions on the package of the descaler.
