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.

D

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.
