Descaling
Regular descaling prolongs the life of the appliance and guarantees optimal
brewing results and a constant brewing time for a long time.
You should descale your appliance at least:
- Every two months if you use soft or ltered water (up to 18dH);
- Every month if you use hard water (over 18dH).
You can contact your water board for more information about your
tap water. If your appliance starts producing more steam, this can be an
indication of scale building up in your appliance.
You can use white vinegar with 4% acetic acid or a liquid descaler to descale
the coffeemaker.
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.
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.
Descaling takes approx. 30 to 60 minutes.
1 Fill the water tank with 0.8 litres of white vinegar (4% acetic acid).
Note: You can also use an appropriate liquid descaler. In this case, follow the
instructions on the package of the descaler.
2 Take a paper lter (type 1x4 or no. 4) and put it in the lter holder.
3 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance and let it complete
the brewing cycle (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’).
4 Switch off the appliance.
5 Empty the jug over a sink and throw away the paper lter.
Note: For extra thorough descaling and to make sure that there is no scale left
in the appliance, repeat steps 1 to 5.
6 Let the appliance complete two more brewing cycles with fresh cold
water to remove any vinegar/descaler and scale residues.
Note: Let the appliance cool down for approx. 3 minutes before you start
the second run.
