Flushing
If you have not used the coffee machine for three days,
flush it with fresh water before you use it again.
Flush the machine in the following way:
1Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to
the MAX indication and put it back onto the machine. (Fig. 3)
2Put the

The machine fills itself with water from the water reservoir.This takes some time and you will probably not
notice that this happens. After a while, the machine starts
to flush and switches itself off after the flushing cycle.
Descaling
Regular descaling prolongs the life of the coffee machine and guarantees optimal brewing results for a long time. If you use the machine twice a day on average, you must descale it once every 3 months.
1Fill the water reservoir up to the MAX indication with descaler and water according to the instructions on the package of the descaler.Then put the water reservoir back onto the coffee machine. (Fig. 3)
Use a descaler based on citric acid.
2Press on/off button I. (Fig. 10)
The machine is ready for use when the indicator light
burns continuously.

holder when you descale the machine.This pod serves as a ‘filter’ to prevent the sieve in the pod holder from
getting clogged with scale residues.
4Put a bowl with a capacity of at least 1500ml under the coffee spout to collect the mixture of descaler and water. (Fig. 8)
5Press the
