Descale the SENSEO
described below when the CALC light goes
on (after you have brewed approx. 400 cups
of SENSEO coffee).

Why to descale
Your reasons to descale:

It ensures maximum coffee temperature
•

brewing

If the descaling procedure is not performed
correctly, scale residue remains behind in the
machine. This causes scale to build up more
quickly and may cause permanent and irreparable
damage to the machine.
Use the correct descaling agent

®
HD7006) only. It has been developed to ensure
better machine performance and operation. Each
