Descaling the appliance
Descale the appliance at regular intervals.
NOTE
► Depending on the hardness of your water, the necessary descaling
intervals may vary considerably. If your water is very hard, descaling is
generally necessary after approximately 30 uses, while less hard water
only requires you to descale your appliance after approximately 60 uses.
Your local water supplier can tell you about the hardness of your water.
Use only descaling agents that are specifically suitable for coffee machines and
follow their usage instructions closely.
Proceed as follows to descale:
1) Add the descaling agent to the water tank .
2) Add the amount of water as specified in the usage instructions for the
descaling agent, but do not exceed the MAX mark (8 cups) on the fill level

machine, then stop the brewing process by pressing the button again.

7) Repeat steps 3 to 5 twice.
8) Then start the brewing process and wait until the water has run through
