Descaling

! Important:
– If you have very hard water, notice
an unusual amount of steam or if the
beverage size is not what it should
be, descale the machine before the
Q
LED comes on.
– Although the enclosed BRITA
MAXTRA fi lter system reduces the
amount of lime in the water signifi ­
cantly, it does not eliminate the need
for regular descaling.
– Do not drink any of the liquids used for
descaling.
– Never use vinegar or vinegar­based
products.
– Always remove the fi lter cartridge holder
(5c) with the fi lter cartridge (5d) before
running the descaling programme.
– Never interrupt the descaling
programme.

Your TASSIMO machine must be descaled
regularly, because heating water creates
limescale which accumulates in the machine
over time. When descaling is needed, the
machine indicates this by activating the
'
"Descale required"
LED lights up, you should descale your
machine immediately. Not doing so may
result in machine not functioning properly
and beverage quality deteriorating.
If you have not descaled the machine after
another 20 T DISCs, the indicator starts to
blink.
Special descaling agents can be
obtained from www.tassimo.com, the
Bosch customer service department
(article no. 310967, for contact details,
see page 75) or from your retailer.
Running the descaling programme
1. Remove the water tank from your
TASSIMO machine and take out the
fi lter cartridge holder (5c) with the fi lter
cartridge (5d).
2. Remove the Service T DISC from the
compartment (6) at the back of the
machine.
