Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a damp cloth.
Descaling:
Over time, mineral deposits can build up in your coffee maker, affecting performance and taste. The machine features a "DESCALE" reminder light. When this light illuminates, it's time to descale your machine.
Prepare Descaling Solution: Follow the instructions on your descaling solution packaging. Alternatively, you can use a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio).
Fill Reservoir: Pour the descaling solution into the water reservoir up to the "Max" line.
Start Descaling Cycle: Place a large mug on the drip tray. Press and hold the "DESCALE" button (or follow specific instructions if provided in the included manual for your model) to initiate the descaling cycle. The machine will run the solution through the system.
Rinse Cycles: After the descaling cycle is complete, empty and rinse the water reservoir. Fill it with fresh water and run 2-3 full brew cycles with just water to rinse out any remaining descaling solution. Discard the water after each cycle.
