Descaling - Anti-limescale program
We recommend using Cromargol®. This is highly effective and gentle on
materials without additional reaction time.
You can also use a commercially available descaling agent that is suitable for filter
coffee machines.
▪ Insert the paper filter and place the pot in the machine. Any more substantial
amounts of limescale residue collect on the filter paper and thus prevent the
spout becoming clogged.
▪ Fill one portion (100 ml) of Cromargol® in the water tank and fill with tap water
to the 10-cup mark (version with teapot) or to the 8-cup mark (version with
vacuum jug).
▪ Dose other descaling agents according to the manufacturer's instructions.
▪ To start the descaling, press the
seconds. The message CALC appears in the display, the descaling program is
automatically started and the LED of the start / stop button illuminates.
▪ The descaling program automatically ends after about 40 minutes, the LED of the
start / stop button turns off and the time reappears in the display.
Note: During the descaling process, the device will switch on and off several times.
Important: Then to rinse, fill the tank to the 10-cup mark (version with teapot) or
to the 8-cup mark (version with vacuum jug) with fresh tap water and allow this to
run through the machine.
Do not use vinegar or vinegar concentrate, as this can damage materials in the
appliance.
When using descalers based on citric acids, precipitates could form during descaling
that seal the limescale layer or clog the lines in the device. In addition, descaling
with citric acids takes too long. A complete descaling can therefore not be
guaranteed.
Attention, there is no claim under warranty for damages caused by not observing
the descaling instructions.
