6.4 Descaling the coffeemaker
When the message ‘CALC’ appears on the display
(after approx. 60 brewing processes), you need
to descale the coffeemaker, as scale can clog the
coffeemaker.
Regular descaling prolongs the life of the
coffeemaker and guarantees optimal brewing
results and a constant brewing time for a long
time. Descale the coffeemaker:
• every 120 brewing cycles if you use soft water
(up to 18dH).
• every 60 brewing cycles if you use hard water
(over 18dH).
You can contact your local water board for
information about the water hardness in your
area.

Note:
If you do not know the water hardness in your
area and are unable to contact your local water
board, we advise you to descale the appliance
every time the ‘CALC’ message appears on the
display.

Note:
To remove the ‘CALC’ message from the display,
press the 4-10 cups button and the STRENGTH
button simultaneously.
