regular descaling will prolong the life of your appliance
and will guarantee optimal brewing results. the
coffeemachine must be descaled at regular intervals:
every 40 cycles for very hard water (about once a
month) and every 80 cycles for soft water (about once
every 2 months). but more frequent descaling may be
necessary if you notice: an increase in noise when boiling
or if brewing takes longer.
you can use either a sachet of descaler or cleaning
vinegar. when you use a descaler for coffeemachine,
follow the instructions on the package.
when you are using cleaning vinegar do as follows:
1. switch off the appliance, unplug it and let it cool
down. remove all the separate parts (jug, water
reservoir and filter holder).
2. to remove excess water turn the machine upside down
over the sink.
3. fill the water reservoir up to halve with cold vinegar
and add fresh, cold water to the maximum level. place
the jug under the spout of the drip stop and place the
filterholder with an empty paper filter on the holder.
4. switch the appliance on.
5. allow the equivalent of halve the amount to
run through into the coffee jug. then stop the
coffeemachine. leave the remaining mixture in the
coffeemachine to work for 15 minutes. restart the
coffeemachine to finish the runthrough.
6. rinse the coffeemachine by running it 2 or 3 times with
fresh water (full watertank and without coffee).
Attention!
if you haven't used the coffeemachine for a
while, for instance if you have been away on a holiday,
you should remove all the separate parts for cleaning
and rinse the coffeemachine with fresh water. place the
cleaned parts in the machine. this prevents an additional
taste.
