DECALCIFICATION
A build-up of scale will slow down your appliance, change the taste of the
coffee and cause the appliance to use more power. It is therefore recommended that
you
descale your appliance at least 1 time a month, following the
procedure below:
1. Place a coffee filter in the appliance to catch the scale.
2. Fill the coffee pot with a mixture of 1/3 vinegar and 2/3 water and pour it into the
water reservoir.
3. Turn the appliance on and allow the mixture to run through.
4. After descaling, it is recommended to run clear cold water through to remove the
vinegar taste and rinse away any remaining scale.
5. Remove the coffee filter with scale from the appliance.
6. If necessary, repeat this procedure. Wash the pot, the lid and the filter holder.
It cannot hurt to descale your appliance preventatively. This will ensure the
optimal performance of the appliance!
