7.4 Descaling the appliance

All hot water devices need descaling depending on the water hardness and
how often the device is used. Warranty claims cannot be made for a device
that is not functioning due to a failure to descale it properly.
The device is equipped with a descale reminder after 200 brew cycles. All
the indicators on the display will flash at this point. Descaling should then
be carried out as soon as possible. If the drinking water is very hard, you
will need to descale the device earlier. If the brewing time increases or the
device becomes noisier, this is a sure sign that the coffee machine needs to
be descaled.
The descale reminder will disappear once the device has been descaled and
has gone through two rinsing cycles or three coffee brewing cycles.
