Descaling
Regular descaling prolongs the lifetime of your coffeemaker and guarantees optimal brewing results
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).
You can use white vinegar with 4% acetic acid or an appropriate liquid descaler. If you use a liquid
descaler, follow the instructions on the package.
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.
Fill the water tank up to the maximum level with white vinegar (4% acetic acid).
1
Put a paper ilter or the permanent ilter in the ilter holder to collect the scale.
2
Switch on the appliance and let it complete two brewing cycles. Let the appliance cool down
3
for about 3 minutes between the brewing cycles.
Note: You can reuse the vinegar of the irst cycle for the second cycle.
Note: We advise you to put a new paper ilter in the ilter holder or to rinse the permanent ilter
thoroughly after the irst brewing cycle.
Fill the water tank with fresh cold water and remove the paper ilter or the permanent ilter.
4
Let the appliance complete two brewing cycles with fresh cold water to remove all vinegar or

descaler residues. Let the appliance cool down for about 3 minutes between the brewing cycles.

Note: If necessary, repeat step 5 until the water that comes out of the appliance no longer tastes or
smells of vinegar.
