6.3 Descaling the coffeemaker
When the message ‘CALC’ appears on the display
(after approx. 60 brewing processes), you need
to descale the coffeemaker, as scale can clog the
coffeemaker.
Regular descaling prolongs the life of the appliance
and guarantees optimal brewing results and a
constant brewing time for a long time. Descale the
appliance:
• every 120 brewing cycles if you use soft water
(up to 18dH).
• every 60 brewing cycles if you use hard water
(over 18dH).
You can contact your local water board for
information about the water hardness in
your area.
D Note:
How much pre-ground coffee you use is a
matter of personal taste. For a medium-strong
cup of coffee, use one measuring spoon
(approximately 6g) for each cup (125ml).
6
Close the filter basket holder and place
the jug on the hotplate.
7
Follow steps 7, 8 and 9 in section ‘Using coffee
beans’.
5.4 Drip stop function
The drip stop function enables you to remove
the jug from the coffeemaker before the brewing
process is finished. When you remove the jug, the
drip stop stops the flow of coffee into the jug.
D Note:
The brewing process does not stop when you
remove the jug. if you do not put the jug back
onto the hotplate within 20 seconds, the filter
basket overflows.
