1 Clean the outside of the appliance with a wet cloth. Descaling Regular descaling prolongs the life of the appliance and guarantees optimal brewing results and a constant brewing time for a long time. In case of normal use (two full jugs of coffee every day), descale the appliance: -- 2 or 3 times a year if you use soft water (up to 18dH); -- 4 or 5 times a year if you use hard water (over 18dH). Contact your local water board for information about the water hardness in your area. You can use white vinegar with 4% acetic acid or a liquid descaler to descale the coffeemaker. Note: If the appliance starts to produce more steam, this can be an indication that scale is building up. Never use vinegar with an acetic acid content of 8% or more, natural vinegar, powder descalers or tablet descalers to descale the appliance, as this may cause damage. Descaling takes approx. 30 to 60 minutes. 1 Fill the water tank with one litre of white vinegar (4% acetic acid). Note: Do not put a filter and ground coffee in the filter holder.You can also use an appropriate liquid descaler. In this case, follow the instructions on the package of the descaler. 2 Press the on/off switch to switch on the appliance and let it complete the brewing cycle (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’). 3 Switch off the appliance. 4 Empty the jug over a sink.

Note: For extra thorough descaling and to make sure that there is no scale left in the appliance, repeat steps 1 to 3.

5 Let the appliance complete two more brewing cycles with fresh cold water to remove any vinegar/descaler and scale residues. Note: Let the appliance cool down for approx. 3 minutes before you start the second run. 6 Clean the jug and the filter holder (see chapter ‘Cleaning’).
