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.
