Limescale builds up in the coffee
machine through use. How often the

depend on the water hardness level in
your area. Limescale must be removed
regularly.

drip tray or fill the water container.
The descaling process is essential and
takes approx. 15 minutes.
You need 1 descaling tablet for the
maintenance programme.
The coffee machine prompts you when
