Descaling - Krups KM785D50 Manual

– Remove the coffee carafe (17) from the heating plate (18).

compartment.

the cover simultaneously Fig. 10.
„ Clean the grinding compartment (19) using the brush (21).
„ Replace the cover.
„ Do not clean the machine if it is still hot.
„ Why descale
– Limestone forms naturally in your coffee maker. Descaling preserves the coffee maker
and ensures it will last longer and provide quality coffee over time. Limestone can
permanently affect the machine's performance. Malfunctions associated with scaling
will not be covered by the warranty if the product is returned.
„ When to descale
– The appliance must be descaled after 70 brewing cycles. If you leave the appliance
plugged into the wall, the appliance will keep track of the number of brewing cycles.
The indicator (D) will flash on the display to indicate that the appliance must be descaled.
If the appliance must be descaled, use the KRUPS descaling solution
vinegar diluted in 17 fl.oz of cold or water at room temperature or 1.5 oz of citric acid
diluted in 17 fl.oz until the crystals have completely dissolved.
– However, the descaling frequency depends on the hardness of the water and the number
of BREW cycles. It may be necessary to descale your coffee machine more frequently
if you notice the following signs, even if the indicator (D) does not flash on the display:
longer cycle time or excessive steaming, more noise at the end of the cycle or stopping
mid-cycle this means that your machine needs to be descaled.
– Descaling should be done every other month, depending on the hardness of the water.
How to descale your KRUPS coffee maker
„ Use the KRUPS descaling solution
or water at room temperature or 1.5 oz of citric acid diluted in 17 fl. oz until the crystals

„ Pour the solution into the water reservoir (15) (without coffee).
„ Press Grind off button (3).
„ Please wait until the end of the cycle.
„ To rinse the machine, run 2 full 10 cups cycles with water but without coffee.
„ Repeat the operation if needed.
„ When the descaling cycle is finished, press 2-10 cups button (3) as well as the coffee
strength selector (7) to reset the descaling function. The descaling indicator (D) will not
light up anymore.
