7 Descaling
Regular descaling prolongs the life of the appliance
and guarantees optimal brewing results and a
constant brewing time for a long time.
In case of normal use (two full jugs of coffee every
day), descale the coffee maker:
•
2 or 3 times a year if you use soft water;
•
4 or 5 times a year if you use hard water.
Contact your local water board for information
about the water hardness in your area.
You can use white vinegar with 4% acetic acid or a
liquid descaler to descale the coffeemaker.
Warning:
B
Never use vinegar with an acetic acid content of
8% or more, natural vinegar, powder descalers
or tablet descalers to descale the appliance, as
this may cause damage.
Fill the water tank with approx. 600ml of
1
white vinegar (4% acetic acid).
Note:

Do not put a filter and ground coffee in the
