Scale Removal; Troubleshooting - Kompernaß KH 1081 Instrucciones De Uso

Scale removal

The mineral content (hardness) in the water causes,
over a period of time, a calcification of the coffee
machine. This calcification impairs the appliance in
its function and diminishes the quality of the brewed
filter coffee.
Enquire at your local waterworks about the
hardness level of your mains water.The need for
decalcification comes early in hard water areas,
somewhat later in soft water areas.
Use a decalcifier designed for household
appliances and pay heed to the usage
instructions.
1. Switch the coffee machine off and allow it to
cool down completely.
2. Place the scale removal product in the water tank.
3. Insert the stipulated volume of water.
4. Place the glass jug on the heating plate.
5. Switch the coffee machine on with the On/Off
switch 6.
6. Wait until the brewing process is complete.
7. Carefully rinse the glass jug with mains water.
Fill the water tank with mains water. Pay heed to
pouring the water slowly into the water tank, so
that it can run through both tank openings.
Empty it again by carefully tipping the appliance
over a sink and allowing the mains water to pour
out.
8. To finish, complete two brewing processes with
just mains water, as described in the section
"Before the first usage".
When completed, you can continue to use the
coffee machine.
