Regular descaling will prolong the
life of the appliance, ensure that it
works correctly, and save energy.
How often you need to descale
the appliance will depend on your
water hardness. More or less
scale will form depending on how
hard your water is.
You will need a full water tank plus
– 2 to 3 tablespoons of citric acid
solution
– or descaling solution as in-
structed by the manufacturer.
1. Pour the descaling liquid into
the water tank and close the
water tank lid.
2. Percolate the descaling liquid.
(For the procedure see section
„Brewing coffee from ground
coffee“ on page GB-16, steps 4

3. Pour the descaling liquid away
after it has run through.
4. Percolate the maximum water
quantity 3 times to rinse. The
coffee machine will then be
ready for use again.
