Descaling
After some time, scale builds up inside the teapot. Scale is harmless to your health, but it may
affect the taste of the tea. We therefore advise you to descale the appliance at least every 3
months. Regular descaling removes scale and also prolongs the life of the teapot.
The amount of scale that develops inside the teapot depends on several factors, such as the
hardness of the water you use and the types of tea you brew. Descale the teapot as soon as you
see any scale inside or notice that the tea tastes differently.
Descaling with a citric-acid based descaler
Use a liquid or powder descaler based on citric acid to descale the appliance. Philips has developed
a citric acid-based descaler (HD7012, HD7011, HD7006) for SENSEO
suitable for this appliance. For more information about this descaler, visit our website
