Descaling
Regular descaling will prolong the life of the appliance and will guarantee optimal brewing results for
a long time.
In case of normal use (two full jugs of coffee every day), descale the coffee maker:
- once every month if you are using hard water;
- once every 4 months if you are using soft water.
Turn to your local water board for information about the water hardness in your area.
1Fill the water tank half full with water and a liquid descaler according to the instructions on
the package of the descaler. Do not use a powder descaler!
◗You can also use white vinegar (4% acetic acid).
2Let the appliance complete two brewing cycles.
3Let the appliance complete two more brewing cycles with fresh, cold water to remove all
liquid descaler or vinegar residues.
4Clean the separate parts (see chapter 'Cleaning').
