7.5.2. Descaling
In order to prolong the device's service life and to keep brewing times short, the cof-
fee machine must be regularly descaling. The time interval depends on the hard-
ness of the water and the frequency with which the device is used. The machine
should be descaled at the latest when the brewing process has become significant-
ly longer. We recommend an environmentally friendly descaling process using vine-
gar or citric acid:
Measure out two cups of vinegar or 2 heaped tablespoons of citric acid crystals
and add this to eight cups of water.
Add the solution to the water tank, close the lid of the filter holder and place the
jug underneath.
Allow the solution to run through the coffee machine, if necessary a number of
times.
Rinse the glass jug and the filter holder thoroughly afterwards.
Finally, fill the coffee machine with fresh water a number of times and run the
machine.
If you want to use a commercial descaler (chemical product), observe the instruc-
tions provided by the manufacturer of the product.
Do not let the chemical descaler drip onto the housing or the warming plate!
