The machine fills itself with water from the water reservoir. While
this happens, water comes out of the spout. When the flushing cycle is
finished, the machine switches itself off. During the flushing cycle, the
machine produces more noise than during a regular brewing cycle
.
Never interrupt the flushing cycle halfway. If you do, the boiler will not fill
itself properly. Repeat step 5 if the cycle is interrupted.
Descaling
Regular descaling will prolong the life of the coffee machine and will
guarantee optimal brewing results for a long time. If the machine is used
twice a day on average, it must be descaled once every 3 months.
1 Fill the water reservoir up to the MAX indication with white
vinegar or with a mixture of descaler and water according to the
instructions on the package of the descaler. Then put the water
reservoir back into the coffee machine.
Use a liquid descaler based on citric acid.
2 Press the on/off button 3.
The machine is ready for use when the indicator light burns continuously.
Place the 1-cup pod holder q in the coffee machine, preferably with
a used coffee pod in it. Close the lid and make sure it is properly
locked.
We advise you to put a used coffee pod in the pod holder when you
descale the machine. This pod will serve as a ‘filter’ to prevent the sieve in
the pod holder from getting clogged with scale residues.
4 Put a bowl with a capacity of at least 1.6 qt./1.5 litres under the
spout openings to collect the vinegar or the mixture of descaler and
water.
5 Press the 2-cup button for 2 cups and l)et the machine operate.
Repeat this unt and let the machine operate. Repeat this until the
water reservoir is empty.
Never descale the SENSEO \ coffee machine with the lid open. Make
sure the lid is properly locked.
6 Repeat steps 1 to 5 with new vinegar or a new mixture of descaler
and water.
