Descaling
∙ Depending on the water quality (lime content) in your
area as well as the frequency of use, all thermal
household appliances using hot water need descaling
(i.e. removal of lime deposits) on a regular basis to
warrant proper functioning.
∙ Any warranty claim will be null and void if the
appliance malfunctions because of insufficient
descaling.
∙ The
button starts flashing when the unit needs
descaling.
∙ Descaling must not be done right away, but should be
done soonest.
∙ Descaling may also be initiated any time prior to the
button flashing.
∙ For descaling we recommend using a mixture of 6 cups
of water and 50 ml of vinegar essence.
∙ Place a paper filter into the plastic filter (without using
ground coffee).
∙ Fill the cold descaling solution into the water reservoir.
∙ Turn the rotary control to
the main indicator light
∙ Pour away the descaling solution once it has passed
through the system. Do not pour descalers down
enamel sinks. Do not use the descaling solution a
second time.
∙ Once descaling has finished, the light ring starts
flashing.
∙ To clean the machine after descaling operate it twice
or three times with fresh cold water only (without using
ground coffee). To start the process, select the symbol
and press the rotary control

.
If a fault occurs...
... if the brewing cycle takes longer than normal, or
... if the valve of the water reservoir has become leaky,
∙ descale the water reservoir (see section Cleaning and
care/Descaling).
... if hot water is ejected through the reservoir lid, or
... if the valve does not open although the boiling process
is complete,
the water reservoir has been overfilled.
∙ When filling the water reservoir be careful not to exceed
the maximum water level of 8 cups and not to remain
below the 3-cup mark for medium-sized coffee cups.
