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no longer active.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

information about this descaler, visit our website
