Descaling your appliance
Descaling should be carried out every 3 months. You
may need to descale more frequently if you live in
an area where the tap water is hard. Descaling
regularly will help you to maintain the best
performance from your product.
1. Fill your appliance with tap water to the max mark
and place an empty large cup or any large
heatproof container on the drip tray. Set the
dispensing control knob on the max volume and
press the start button. Wait for the end of pouring.
2. Add any descaler (for quantities, refer to the
descaler packaging) to the hot water in the cup
and stir a few seconds. ( igure 10)
3. Pour the contents of the cup into the water tank of
your appliance and close the lid. ( igure 10.)
Note : if you use white vinegar instead of descaler,
skip the steps 1 to 3 and put one litre of white
vinegar directly into the water tank. Do not use any
other vinegar than “white vinegar” which can be
bought from hardware stores.
4. Put the empty cup again onto the drip tray and
press the start button. (E)
5. Wait for the water to be dispensed into the cup.
6. Discard the water from the cup.
