Removing scale

Remove scale from the coffee machine at regular intervals.

The required descaling intervals can, subject to water hardness, be very variable. Scale removal is already necessary after ca. 30 brewing processes with hard water, after ca. 60 brewing processes with soft water. Your local water supplier will inform you about the water hardness level in your locality.

Use only scale removal products that are suitable for coffee makers and pay heed to the instructions for use.

The procedure for scale removal is:

1. Place the scale removal product in the water tank ③.
2. Insert the amount of water detailed in the usage instructions for the descaler (max. 12 cups).
3. Press the button ON/AUTO/OFF ⑦ to start the brewing process. The integrated red indicator lamp glows.
4. Wait until the water for approx. 2 cups has passed through and then stop the brewing process by pressing twice on the button ON/AUTO/OFF ⑦. The integrated blue indicator lamp glows constantly and goes out after approx. 15 seconds.
5. Allow the descaling medium to stand for 15 minutes.
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 three times.
7. Then restart the brewing process and wait until all of the solution has passed through.
8. Rinse the coffee machine through 3 times with fresh water. All of the descaling medium residues will then be removed and you can once again use the coffee machine.
