  4. Wipe the exterior of the coffee machine with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers.

5.2 Descaling

Depending on water hardness and frequency of use, descaling should be performed regularly (e.g., every 2-4 months) to prevent mineral buildup.

  2. Pour the descaling solution into the water reservoir.
  3. Place an empty paper filter in the filter basket and the thermal carafe on the warming plate.
  4. Start a brewing cycle. Allow half of the solution to brew through, then switch off the machine and let it stand for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Switch the machine back on and allow the remaining solution to brew through.
  6. After the descaling cycle, run 2-3 cycles with fresh, clean water to rinse out any descaling residue.
