Automatic descaling program for the steam circuit
Caution: if your appliance is fitted with our Claris - Aqua Filter System cartridge,
please remove this before descaling.
The appliance will tell you when the descaling program is required. The frequency at which
this program needs to be run depends on the quality of the water used and whether the
Claris Aqua Filter System filter is used or not (the more limescale in the water, the more
descaling is required).
Important: you do not have to perform the descale program immediately when the
appliance requests this; however, you should do this as soon as possible.
If descaling is delayed, an alert message
the operation is performed.
Follow the instructions on-screen. It is also possible to launch descaling via the maintenance
menu.
To carry out this descaling program, you will need a container that can hold at least 20 oz,
which must be placed under the One Touch Cappuccino block, and a sachet of KRUPS
descaling agent (40 g).
The automatic descale program includes three phases: one descaling cycle and two rinse
cycles. The program lasts approximately 20 min.
Important: if there is a power outage or you disconnect your appliance, the cycle will
relaunch the stage in progress when the incident occurred; this operation
cannot be delayed. Make sure the entire cycle is completed to remove any
traces of descaling product, which may be hazardous to your health, is
completely removed from the system.
