When to descale
n The frequency of descaling depends on the water hardness and the number of coffee cycles. When the
following signs are encountered: cycle time lengthened, high evaporation, high level of noise at the end
of cycle, stop during the cycle, it signifies that your machine is calcified.
The descaling of the coffee maker must be between 20 and 30 cycles or once a month depending on
the water hardness.
