When to descale
• Descale the SENSEO
®
coffee machine as
described below when the CALC light goes
on (after you have brewed approx. 400 cups
of SENSEO
®
coffee).
Why to descale
Your reasons to descale:
• It prolongs the life of your SENSEO

coffee
machine
• It ensures maximum cup volume

brewing

correctly, scale residue remains behind in the
machine. This causes scale to build up more
quickly and may cause permanent and irreparable
damage to the machine.

HD7006) only. It has been developed to ensure
better machine performance and operation.
