Descaling
Your coffee machine is equipped with a stainless-steel heating element, which reduces the for-
mation of limescale. However, it is important to descale your appliance every 8 or 10 months
- or more often if you notice that the coffee is taking longer to brew.
Descaling method :
We recommend you use a descaling product specially formulated for coffee machines.
Never use vinegar.
Remove the water filter while your are descaling.
1. Fill the tank with fresh water up to the maximum level, then pour in the liquid descaler
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Plug in your appliance and place the pot under the
empty
filter holder (no paper filter or
ground coffee).
3. Press the
button to switch your appliance on.
4. Once the water tank is empty, switch off your appliance by pressing the
button.
5. Wait for approx. 10 minutes to allow the coffeemaker to cool, then rinse the circuits through
with the equivalent of two full pots of fresh water.
Always unplug your appliance before embarking on any kind of maintenance task.
Never use alcohol, solvents or aggressive cleaning products.
