• Appliance switches off before the water
tank is empty.
Descaling frequency depends on the water
hardness and the brewing frequency. Gener-
ally, descaling should be done periodically
as follows:
• With soft water, at least once every 3
months.
• With hard water, at least once every
month.
If in doubt about the hardness of your water,
contact your local municipality.
It is recommended to use only liquid descal-
ers suitable for coffee makers. Read the
descaling instructions carefully before use.
1. Mix adequate descaler with cold water in
a measuring jug.
Note: Never use a powder descaler.
2. Fill the water tank up to the Max level
with the prepared solution.
3. Operate the appliance until the water
tank is empty as if you had brewed a jug
of coffee, but without a paper filter and
ground coffee in the filter holder.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for another descaling
cycle.
Note: Never refill the water tank with the
used descaling solution because it is no
longer active.
5. Operate two more brewing cycles with
fresh, cold water to remove all descaler
solution residues.
6. Important:
A. Never interrupt the descaling process.
B. Malfunctions caused by scale depos-
ited inside the appliance are not cov-
ered by the guarantee if the descaling
process is not carried out properly.
