Dscaling

Limescale deposits have an adverse effect not only on the quality of the coffee and the water, but they also cause power losses and shorten the lifespan of the device. The thicker a limescale layer is, the more difficult it is to remove.

We therefore recommend regularly removing limescale deposits with a descending agent in accordance with the water quality in your area and how often the device is used (approx. every 2 - 6 weeks).

The first indications that descending is required are a large amount of steam being produced and slower brewing of the coffee.

For descending we recommend the BEEM premium descaler concentrate. The efficient, food-safe and environmentally friendly BEEM premium descaler concentrate is available from selected specialist stockists, via our website www.beem.de or from our customer service department on request.

Dscaling with the BEEM Premium Descaler Concentrate

I. Fill the water tank (II) up to the 8-cup mark with a concentrate/water solution of no more than 1:20 (one part concentrate to 20 parts water).
2. Press the CALC button (22) to switch on the device and start the descending process. The operating lamp lights up.
3. At the end of this process, the device switches off automatically.
4. To rinse the device, allow two tankfuls (10 cups) of clear water to run through it (see the "Preparation" chapter). The device is now descaled and ready to be used again.

Storage

Disconnect the device from the mains power when it is not going to be used for a prolonged period. Clean the device again if necessary (see the "Cleaning and Care" chapter) and let it dry completely.

Store the device and all accessories in a dry, clean, frost-free place that is protected from direct sunlight and cannot be accessed by children or animals.

Disposal

Dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally friendly manner and take it to a recycling centre.

This device is governed by the European Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Do not dispose of this device as normal domestic waste, but rather in an environmentally friendly manner via an officially approved waste disposal company.
