Descaling

Your TASSIMO machine has an automatic
descaling programme. If
icon lights up while the appliance is on,
the descaling programme must be run
immediately. If the descaling process is
not run as instructed, the appliance may
become damaged.
! Important:
– If you have very hard water, notice an
unusual amount of steam or if the bev­
erage volume is not what it should be,
descale the machine before the Des­
cale icon lights up.
