Automatic descale programme 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 descale programme is required. The frequency at which
this programme 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 programme immediately when the
!
appliance requests this; however, you should do this as soon as possible. If
descaling is delayed, an alert message
operation is performed.
Follow the instructions on-screen. It is also possible to launch descaling via the maintenance
menu.
To carry out this descaling programme, you will need a container that can hold at least 0.6
litre, which must be placed under the One Touch Cappuccino block, and a sachet of KRUPS
descaling agent (40 g).
The automatic descale programme includes three phases: one descaling cycle and two
rinse cycles. The programme lasts approximately 20 min.
Important : if there is a power cut 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 that may be hazardous to your health.
