7 Descaling

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:

• 2 or 3 times a year if you use soft water (up

to 18dH).

• 4 or 5 times a year if you use hard water

(over 18dH).

You can use white vinegar with 4% acetic acid.

Also an appropriate liquid descaler can be used. In

this case, follow the instructions on the package of

the descaler.

B

Warning:

Never use vinegar with an acetic acid content of

8% or more, natural vinegar, powder descalers

or tablet descalers to descale the appliance, as

this may cause damage.

1

Fill the water tank till the MAX with

white vinegar (4% acetic acid).

D

Note:

You can also use an appropriate liquid

descaler. In this case, follow the instructions on

the package of the descaler.

Take a paper filter (type 1x4 or no. 4) and put

it in the filter holder to collect the scale.
