• We recommend washing carafes by hand with a mild detergent.
• Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffee machine.
Descaling is necessary to keep your coffee machine running efficiently. The frequency
of descaling depends on the hardness of your water and how often you use the coffee
machine.
If you notice the brew cycle has slowed it is generally time to descale the machine.
See the chart below:
Before descaling, remove the filter holder (f).
• You may use either the Krups descaling solution diluted in 16 ounces of water or
8 ounces of white vinegar.
• Pour the solution or vinegar into the water reservoir and start the coffee machine
(without coffee).
• Allow half the liquid to run into the carafe, then switch off and let stand for 1 hour.
• Restart the coffee machine to complete the cycle.
• Rinse the coffee machine by running it through 2 full cycles with water only.
