descaler’s container.

2. Turn the power switch for brewing On.

6. Discard the solution collected in the jug.

7. Fill the reservoir with clean water and turn the appliance back On to flush out the system and remove
any descaler residue. Discard the collected water and rinse the jug. Repeat with clean water 2 more
times to flush out.
