Descaling the coffeemaker
Regular descaling prolongs the life of the appliance and guarantees optimal
brewing results and a constant brewing time for a long time. In case of
normal use (two full jugs of coffee every day), descale the appliance:
- 6 times a year (every other month) if you use soft water (up to 18dH).
- 12 times a year (every month) if you use hard water (over 18dH).
You can contact your local water board for information about the water
hardness in your area.
Note: If you are not aware of the water hardness in your area and are not
in a position to contact your local water board, we advise you to descale the
appliance every month.
