Descaling (Monthly or as Needed)

Mineral deposits (limescale) can build up in your coffee maker over time, affecting performance and coffee taste. Descale regularly, especially in areas with hard water.

1. Prepare Descaling Solution: Fill the water tank with a mixture of white vinegar and water (e.g., 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water). Do not exceed the MAX fill line.
2. Start Descaling Cycle: Place the empty carafe on the warming plate. Press the CLEAN button on the control panel. The coffee maker will run a cleaning cycle.
3. Rinse Cycles: After the descaling cycle is complete, discard the vinegar solution. Fill the water tank with fresh, cold water and run 2-3 full brewing cycles with only water to rinse out any remaining vinegar taste.
