regular descaling will prolong the life of your appliance
and will guarantee optimal brewing results. the
coffeemaker must be descaled at regular intervals: every
40 cycles for very hard water (about once a month)
and every 80 cycles for soft water (about once every 2
months). But more frequent descaling may be necessary
if you notice: an increase in noise when boiling or if
brewing takes longer.
you can use either a sachet of descaler or cleaning
vinegar. When you use a descaler for coffeemachine,
follow the instructions on the package.
When you are using cleaning vinegar do as follows:
1. Switch off the appliance, unplug it and let it cool
down. remove all the separate parts (jug and
filterholder).
2. to remove excess water turn the machine upside down
over the sink.
3. fill the waterreservoir up to halve with cold vinegar
and add fresh, cold water to the maximum level.
place the jug on the warmingplate and place the
filterholder with an empty paper filter on the holder.
4. Switch the appliance on.
5. allow the equivalent of halve the amount to
run through into the coffee jug. then stop the
coffeemaker. Leave the remaining mixture in the
coffeemaker to work for 15 minutes. restart the
coffeemaker to finish the runthrough.
6. repeat the process when the glass tube is still not
clear.
7. rinse the coffeemaker by running it 2 or 3 times with
fresh water (full water tank and without coffee).
Attention! If you haven't used the coffeepodmachine for
a while, for instance if you have been away on a holiday,
you should remove all the separate parts for cleaning
and rinse the coffeepodmachine with fresh water. place
the cleaned parts in the machine. this prevents an
additional taste.
