chine off manually at any time.

Descaling
Depending on water hardness the appliance can
become calcified with use. This also increases the
appliance's energy consumption as lime scale on the
heating element can prevent the water heating
effectively. To avoid damage the appliance must be
descaled regularly.
The descaling process consists of 2 steps, both of
which must be completed.
1. Descaling
• Follow the manufacturers instructions regarding
amounts and pour the descaler into the water tank.
We recommend using "Melitta
Machines".
• Turn the appliance on and follow the descaler manu-
facturer's instructions.
• When the descaler liquid has fully run through
the appliance then it should be turned off.
2. Rinsing
• After step 1 the appliance must be rinsed with fresh
water. To do this allow the machine to cool for a
short time (approx. two minutes) then fill the
appliance with the maximum amount of water.
• Turn the appliance on and allow all the water to flow
through it. Then turn the appliance off immediately.
• Repeat the rinsing process.
5. Notes on disposal

and Electronic Equipment.
