Descaling
• Descaling of your espresso should be done
fairly frequently with citric or tartaric acid.
However, we would advise you to use the
Krups descaling accessory, reference 054,
which is available from Krups after-sales ser-
vice centres. This accessory includes, apart
from two descaling doses, a testing strip for
water hardness to assess the frequency of
descaling of your appliance in normal use.
Descaling depends on the hardness of the
water, but also on the use cycle. The frequently
of descaling indicated by the 054 accessory is
thus given by way of indication only.
- Then follow the following method:
• Unscrew the grid from the head of the
appliance and clean it.
• Dissolve 2 dessertspoons of the descaling
product or a sachet of KRUPS descaling
accessory, reference 054, in half a litre of
lukewarm water and pour the whole lot into
the empty water tank.
• Place a container under the brewing head.
Run through about 1/3 of the liquid
immediately, setting the selector to the
position (9).
• Stop the appliance, leaving the
position
(9) engaged and wait for 10 - 15 minutes to
allow the descaler to take effect.
• Next, start the machine again and allow the
rest of the liquid to run through.
•
Then rinse with two water tanks of fresh
water and replace the grid on the head of the
appliance (see paragraph on maintenance).
