Note: Do not use vinegar or an acetic acid-based descaler, as this could have a negative effect on the

taste of the tea.

Put the citric acid-based descaler in the teapot (Fig. 38).

Note: If you use the citric acid-based descaler developed for SENSEO

machines, use one sachet.

Note: If you use another type of citric acid-based descaler than the citric acid-based descaler for

SENSEO

machines, follow the instructions on the package of the descaler and adjust this to the amount

of water in the teapot (700ml).

Add lukewarm water to the teapot up to the MAX indication (700ml) (Fig. 9).

Stir until the citric acid-based descaler is largely dissolved in the water or properly mixed

with the water (Fig. 39).

Use a wooden or plastic spatula to stir the solution in the teapot. Do not use metal, sharp or

abrasive kitchen utensils.

Put the lid on the teapot (Fig. 40).

Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket (Fig. 11).

Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance (Fig. 41).

, The quick-select buttons and the personal settings button light up.

Press the black tea button and the rooibos button at the same time to start the 30-minute

descaling program (Fig. 42).

Note: If you remove the teapot from the base during the descaling program, the descaling process is

aborted. To restart the descaling process, put the teapot back onto the base and press the black tea

button and the rooibos button at the same time again.

, During the descaling program, the appliance automatically heats up the water and keeps track

of the descaling time. The segments of the light ring light up one by one to show how much

of the 30-minute descaling program has passed. When the descaling program is finished, the

whole light ring flashes and you hear a bell sound (Fig. 43).

Note: If you do not remove the teapot from the base within 5 minutes after the bell sound, the appliance

switches off automatically.

When the descaling program is finished, pour the descaling liquid into the sink. (Fig. 44)

Repeat the descaling procedure as often as necessary to remove all scale from the teapot.

Note: Each descaling mixture can be used only once. After use, the descaling mixture is no longer active.

Rinse the teapot (including the spout) with fresh water at least 4 times (Fig. 45).

Rinse the lid (Fig. 7).
