Descaling

Regular descaling will prolong the life of the coffee machine and will
guarantee optimal brewing results for a long time.
When you need to descale the machine, the descaling indication
,
b appears on the display. This happens after 500 cups
have been brewed. After another 8 cups, the descaling indication
b disappears from the display (whether or not you have
performed the descaling procedure).
1 Fill the water reservoir up to the MAX indication with white
vinegar or with a mixture of descaler and water according to the
instructions on the package of the descaler. Then put the water
reservoir back into the coffee machine.
Use a liquid descaler based on citric acid.
2 Press the on/off button 3.
The machine is ready for use when the indicator light burns continuously.
3 Place the 1-cup pod holder q in the coffee machine, preferably with
a used coffee pod in it. Close the lid and make sure it is properly
locked.
We advise you to put a used coffee pod in the pod holder when you
descale the machine. This pod will serve as a 'filter' to prevent the sieve in
the pod holder from getting clogged with scale residues.
 Put a bowl with a capacity of at least 1.6 qt./1.5 litres under the
spout openings to collect the vinegar or the mixture of descaler and
water.
5 Press the 2-cup button qq/
operate. Repeat this until the water reservoir is empty.
