Descaling­the­appliance
Descaling extends the life of your appliance.
Descale your coffee maker at least 4 times per
year. The period depends on the water hardness
in your area. The harder the water is, the more
often the appliance has to be descaled.
1­­ Purchase a suitable descaler from a speciality
store. Please ask naming the device.
2­­ Prior to commencing the descaling process
thoroughly read the manufacturer’s package
insert of the descaler. Should the manufacturer’s
instructions differ from the ones listed below,
then follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Note
█
You can also use white vinegar and lemon acid
instead of a commercially available descaler.

the descaler.
Mixing ratio: 4 parts water to 1 part descaler.
