5 Maintenance

The IMPRESSA builds up deposits of limescale over time and auto-
matically prompts you to descale it when necessary. The degree of 
calcification depends on the hardness of your water.

Non-recommended descaling agents (e.g. vinegar) may contain 
substances that could damage the machine or leave residues.

T

   Use only original JURA descaling tablets. These are specially 

formulated for your machine.

Harmful and irritating descaling agent. Harmful if swallowed. 
Irritating to eyes and skin.

T

   Keep children AWAY.

T

   Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

T

   Avoid generation of dust. Do not inhale dust.

T

   After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of 

water. In case of skin irritation, seek medical advice.

T

   After eye contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. 

Remove contact lenses. Seek medical advice.

T

   If swallowed, rinse mouth immediately and drink large 

quantities of water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical 
advice immediately and show label.

If the descaling operation is interrupted, there may be damage to 
the machine.

T

   Allow the descaling program to run to the end.

 

E

The descaling program lasts approximately 40 minutes.

 

E

JURA descaling tablets are available from specialized dealers.

 

E

If you use a CLEARYL Blue filter cartridge and this is activated, 
you will not be prompted to descale.

 

E

If the descaling agent comes into contact with sensitive 
surfaces (e.g. marble), damage cannot be ruled out. Clean up 
any splashes immediately.
