Descaling (new procedure)
When to descale
- Descale the SENSEO ® coffee machine as
described below when the CALC light goes
on (after you have brewed approx. 400 cups of
SENSEO ® coffee).
Why to descale
Scale builds up inside the machine during use. It is
essential to descale the SENSEO ® coffee machine at
least every 3 months. Your reasons to descale:
- It prolongs the life of your SENSEO ® coffee
machine
- It ensures maximum cup volume
- It ensures maximum coffee temperature
- The machine produces less sound during brewing
- It prevents malfunctioning
If the descaling procedure is not performed correctly,
scale residue remains behind in the machine. This
causes scale to build up more quickly and may cause
permanent and irreparable damage to the machine.
Use the correct descaling agent
Only citric acid-based descalers are suitable for
descaling the SENSEO ® machine. This type of
descaler descales the machine without damaging
it. For the correct amount, see under ‘Descaling
procedure’ below. Each descaling mixture can be
used only once. After use, the descaling mixture is
no longer active.
We advise you to use the special SENSEO ®
Descaler (HD7012, HD7011, HD7006). For more
