Scale removal

The mineral content (hardness) in the water causes,
over a period of time, a calcification of the coffee
machine. This calcification impairs the appliance in
its function and diminishes the quality of the brewed
filter coffee.
Enquire at your local waterworks about the
hardness level of your mains water. The need for
decalcification comes early in hard water areas,
somewhat later in soft water areas. Use a decal-
cifier designed for household appliances and
pay heed to the usage instructions.
1. Switch the coffee machine off and allow it to
cool down completely.
2. Place the scale removal product in the water
