6.3 Descaling the coffeemaker

When the message 'CALC' appears on the display
(after approx. 60 brewing processes), you need
to descale the coffeemaker, as scale can clog the
coffeemaker.
Regular descaling prolongs the life of the appliance
and guarantees optimal brewing results and a
constant brewing time for a long time. Descale the
appliance:
•
every 120 brewing cycles if you use soft water
(up to 18dH).
•
every 60 brewing cycles if you use hard water
(over 18dH).
You can contact your local water board for
information about the water hardness in your
area.
Note:
D
If you are not aware of the water hardness in your
area and are not in a position to contact your
local water board, we advise you to descale the
appliance every time the 'CALC' message appears
on the display.
Note:
D
To remove the 'CALC' message from the display,
press the 2-10 CUPS button and the STRENGTH
button simultaneously.
Open the water reservoir lid.
1
Fill the water reservoir with 7 cups of white
2
vinegar (4% acetic acid) and 3 cups of
water (Fig. 24).
Place a paper filter (no. 4) in the filter basket
3
and close the filter basket holder.
Place the empty jug on the hotplate (Fig. 4).
