DESCALING
Mineral deposits naturally build up in all appliances which
heat water. Therefore, the coffee maker will need periodic
descaling. We recommend that the coffee maker is descaled
every 4-6 months, depending on how often you use it.
DESCALLING SOLUTIONS
The following agents are usually used for removing mineral
deposits from the coffee maker:
●
Vinegar solution
Fill the water tank with the following solution: 1/3 of vinegar,
2/3 of water.
●
Citric acid solution
Dissolve a sachet of citric acid in 0.5 litre of water.
●
Special liquids or tablets.
After descaling, continue with 2-3 cleaning
processes with clean water, as described in
the paragraph "Preparing the appliance for
operation".
