Descaling your appliance

Descaling should be carried out every 3 months. You

EN

 

may need to descale more frequently if you live in

 

an area where the tap water is hard. Descaling

 

regularly will help you to maintain the best

 

performance from your product.

 

1.

Fill your appliance with tap water to the max mark

 

 

and place an empty large cup or any large

 

 

heatproof container on the drip tray. Set the

 

 

dispensing control knob on the max volume and

 

 

press the start button. Wait for the end of pouring.

 

2.

Add any descaler (for quantities, refer to the

 

 

descaler packaging) to the hot water in the cup

 

 

and stir a few seconds. (Figure 10)

 

3.

Pour the contents of the cup into the water tank of

 

 

your appliance and close the lid. (Figure 10.)

 

 

Note : if you use white vinegar instead of descaler,

 

 

skip the steps 1 to 3 and put one litre of white

 

 

vinegar directly into the water tank. Do not use any

 

 

other vinegar than “white vinegar” which can be

 

 

bought from hardware stores.

 

4.

Put the empty cup again onto the drip tray and

 

 

press the start button. (E)

 

5.

Wait for the water to be dispensed into the cup.

 

6.

Discard the water from the cup.

 

7.

Repeat steps 4 to 6 until the water level is at the

 

 

min mark. Open the lid and empty any remaining

 

 

water into the sink. Rinse your appliance by filling

 

 

it with fresh tap water and emptying it again into

 

 

the sink (see emptying your appliance on page 4).

 

 

Fill your appliance with tap water to the max mark

 

 

and place your empty large cup on the drip tray.

 

8.

Press the start button and wait for the water to be

 

 

dispensed into the cup.

 

9.

Discard the water in the cup.

 

10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 until the water level is at the min mark. Open the lid and empty any remaining water into the sink (see emptying your appliance on page 4).

Your appliance is now ready to use again.
