WHEN THE "CLEAN" LOGO BLINKS ON THE SCREEN OR WHEN YOU THINK
IT'S NECESSARY: DESCALE WITH CLEAN MODE
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 guarantee if the product is
returned.
WHEN TO DESCALE?
When descaling is necessary, the CLEAN touch will light on. The descaling
frequency depends on the hardness of the water and the number of brew cycles.
If you notice the following signs: longer cycle time, excessive steaming, more
noise at the end of the cycle, stopping mid-cycle, this means your machine has
limestone build up and needs to be descaled.
Your coffee maker should be descaled around once a month depending on the
hardness of the water.
HOW TO DESCALE YOUR COFFEE MAKER
„ Use the KRUPS descaling solution or 0.5L of white vinegar diluted in 0.5L of
cold or water at room temperature Fig. 15.
„ Pour the solution into the water tank (without coffee in the filter). Fig 16.
„ Press the CLEAN button (6) to start the descaling cycle. Fig 17.
„ Wait until the end of the cycle.To rinse the machine, run 2 full 10-15 cups cycles
with clear water but without coffee.
„ Repeat the operation if needed.
THE GUARANTEE DOES NOT COVER COFFEE MAKERS THAT DO NOT
WORK, OR DO SO POORLY, DUE TO LACK OF DESCALING
