Descaling
If the water in your local area is hard, lime scale will form over
time. These deposits may affect the correct operation of the appli-
ance.
When the "ON/AUTO/OFF" button flashes, proceed with descal-
ing. The descaling process may be performed using special com-
mercially-available scale removers for filter coffee makers.
Alternatively, white wine vinegar can be used as follows:
1. Remove the chlorine filter.
2. Pour 2 cups of white wine vinegar and 3 cups of water into the
tank. Place the tank in the coffee maker;
3. Place the jug on the warming plate, do not put any ground cof-
fee in the filter holder;
4. Press the filter coffee ON/OFF switch, filter the equivalent of
one cup and then switch off the appliance;
5. Leave the vinegar to act for one hour;
6. Switch the coffee maker back on and filter the rest of the solu-
tion;
7. To rinse the machine, operate it with water and without ground
coffee at least 3 times (3 complete tanks of water).
You are recommended to descale the coffee machine about every
300 coffees.
