ï Decalcifying (without illustrations)
If you have hard water and you use
your coffeemaker without a water filter,
it has to be decalcified regularly. When
using the water filter cartridge and
exchanging it regularly, you normally
will not need to decalcify. However, if
your coffeemaker takes much longer
than normal to brew, the appliance has
to be decalcified.
Im
portant: Replace the water filter with
the space compensator for any
decalcification procedure.
• You can use a commercially
available decalcifying agent which
does not affect aluminium.
• Follow the instructions of the
manufacturer of the decalcifying
agent.
• Repeat the procedure as many
times as necessary in order to
reduce the brewing time per cup to
a normal level.
• Allow the maximum amount of
fresh cold water to run through at
least twice to cleanse the coffee-
maker.
