TIME TO DESCALE THE BREWER
Depending on the mineral content of your water, calcium deposits or scale may build
up in your brewer, this is why we recommend using bottled or filtered water. Scale is
non-toxic but if left unattended can hinder brewer performance. Regularly descaling your
brewer every three to six months helps maintain the heating element, and other internal
parts that come in contact with water. Calcium deposits may build up faster, making it
necessary to descale more often.
You should promptly descale when the Touchscreen indicates "Time to descale the
brewer!" However, even if this is not indicated, you should continue to descale your brewer
every three to six months.
