Descaling
De-scale your coffee machine
regularly. Regular de-scaling
saves energy. The frequency
with which you need to de-scale
depends on the hardness of the
water in your local area.
The following signs indicate that
your coffee machine needs to be
de-scaled:
– The appliance switches off
automatically, even though
there is still some water in the
water tank (3) (automatic lime-
scale detection feature).
– There is visible lime-scale
build-up in the water tank and
in the riser tube (4)
– The brewing process is notice-
ably longer.
– The brewing process is noisier
than usual.
– A significant amount of steam
escapes during the brewing
process.
To de-scale the appliance, follow
the steps below:
• Insert an empty paper filter into
the filter holder (14) to catch the
limescale.
• Mix 1.1 litres of de-scaling
solution following the manufac-
turer's instructions (if using vine-
gar or lemon essence, mix 1 part
essence and 2 parts water).
• Fill the water tank with
de-scaling solution up to the
"max" level shown on the water
level indicator (5).
• Switch the appliance on using
the power switch (6).
• Allow approx. two cupfuls to
run through the appliance before
switching it off.
• Leave the de-scaling
solution to take effect for
20 to 30 minutes.

• Switch the appliance on again
and allow the remaining de-
scaling solution to run through it.
Note:
The appliance may switch off
automatically, even though there
is still some de-scaling solution
in the water tank. If this happens,
leave the solution to take effect
again and then switch the appli-
ance back on.
• Rinse twice with fresh water
(see "Cleaning the appliance"
under "Before using the appliance
for the first time").
• Repeat the de-scaling process
if necessary.
STORAGE
Keep the appliance out of the
reach of children.
