Put the water reservoir back onto the coffee machine.

Place the 1-cup pod holder q with a used coffee pod in it in the

coffee machine. Close the lid and make sure it is properly locked.

It is not possible to descale the machine when the lid is not properly

closed and the lid lever is not locked. In this case, the indicator

light flashes intermittently.
Note: Always put a used coffee pod in the pod holder when you descale the

machine. This pod serves as a ‘filter’ to prevent the sieve or hole in the pod

holder from getting clogged with scale residue.

Put a bowl with a capacity of at least 1500ml under the spout to

collect the descaling mixture.

Press the 1-cup button q and the 2-cup button qq briefly at the

same time to start the descaling cycle.

, The CALC light and the light ring around the on/off button starts

flashing to indicate that the descaling cycle has started.

, Hot water comes out of the coffee spout in intervals. During the

descaling cycle, the machine stops descaling 3 to 4 times to let the

descaler mixture act and to heat up.

Let the machine complete the entire descaling cycle, which takes 4 to 5

minutes. Do not switch off the machine during the descaling cycle!

, When all the water in the water reservoir has been used up, the

descaling cycle is finished. The light ring around the on/off button

starts to flash rapidly.

Repeat the descaling procedure (steps 2 to 6) once. Replace the used

pod with another used pod to filter out the scale residue.
