4. Soak: Wait for 60 minutes to allow the solution to work inside the machine.
5. Complete Cycle: Press the ON/OFF button again to brew the remaining solution. Wait until the machine beeps 3 times and the brew cycle is complete.
6. Rinse Cycles: Empty the carafe and fill it with 10 cups of clean water. Pour this clean water into the water tank. Run a full brewing cycle with clean water. Repeat this rinsing process 2-3 times to ensure all descaling solution is flushed out.
