REMOVING CALCIUM BUILD-UP
Your coffee machine may experience build-up
from calcium and minerals contained in your
water. This 'scale' or mineral build-up will affect
the machine's performance and coffee quality.
It is critical that scale build-up be removed.
How often you de-scale will depend on the
hardness of your water and the frequency of
use. For best results, Breville recommends
de-scaling once per month in soft water
environments and more frequently in hard
water environments.
If there is an excessive mineral build-up, the
Descale function "dESC" will scroll across the
screen.
Follow the step-by-step instructions below.
Allow approximately 30-40 minutes to
complete the entire descale process.
1. Empty the Water Tank
• Press the CUP |CARAFE button and rotate
Dial to select water volume as indicated in
the water tank.
• Rotate the STRENGTH Dial to select
PRE-GROUND setting. However do not
add any coffee to the coffee basket.
• Ensure the carafe is empty and the lid is
securely locked. Place the carafe into the
position under the drip stop outlet.
• Press the START | CANCEL button.
• Once the cycle is complete, discard the
water from the carafe. The water tank is
now empty.
