Descaling

When to descale

Descale the SENSEO

®

coffee machine frequently! Preferably descale 4 to

6 times a year, but at least once every 3 months. Descaling takes about 1

hour. Do not interrupt the descaling process.
Why to descale

Scale builds up inside the appliance 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 appliance 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no longer active.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 (HD7006). Read the

instructions on the package of the descaling agent.
Never use a descaling agent based on mineral acids such as sulphuric

acid, hydrochloric acid, sulphamic acid and acetic acid (e.g. vinegar). These

descaling agents may damage your SENSEO

®

coffee machine.
