DESCALING:

Why descale

The scale is naturally deposited in your coffee maker. Descaling preserves the coffee maker and ensures it a longer life. Descaling ensures a consistent quality of coffee. The scale may permanently deteriorate the performance of the machine. The guarantee does not cover appliances which become faulty because the descaling operations have not been carried out regularly.

When to descale

The frequency of descaling depends on the water hardness and the number of coffee cycles. When the following signs are encountered: cycle time lengthened, high evaporation, high level of noise at the end of cycle, stop during the cycle, it signifies that your machine is calcified. The descaling of the coffee maker must be between 20 and 30 cycles or once a month depending on the water hardness.

How to descale your KRUPS coffee maker

Use the KRUPS® descaling solution diluted in 0.5l of water or 250 ml of commercially available white vinegar in half-litre of water. Pour the solution into the water tank (without coffee). Start the cycle (without coffee). After 2 min, manually stop the cycle. Leave it still for an hour. Restart the coffee to complete the cycle. To rinse the machine, run 2 cycles with water but no coffee. Repeat the operation if necessary. The guarantee does not cover coffee makers which are not working or which are working poorly due to failure to descale them.
