DESCALING
Mineral/ limescale deposits building up in the coffee maker will have an adverse effect on the
operation of the appliance. Your appliance must be descaled when you notice an increase in the
time required to brew or when there is excessive steaming. You may also notice a build-up of
white deposits on various parts of the coffee maker. The frequency of cleaning depends upon the
hardness of the water used.
• Use only commercially available appliance descaler.
• Follow the recommended instructions for use.
WARNING:
• After descaling, we recommend that you run the machine with plain cold water (excluding
ground coffee) two or three times in order to rinse out residues of the descaling agent.
• Do not use any ground coffee during the descaling process.
• Do not use this water for consumption.
