How do you descale your JURA D4 coffee machine?
Get started with descaling
Descale your JURA quickly and easily with these useful video instructions. It takes about 45 minutes to descale. We'll go through these steps with you:
- Step 1. Prepare for descaling
- Step 2. Start descaling
- Step 3. Rinse the machine
You need:
- JURA Descaling Tablets (3 units)

Do you use a water filter? Make sure you remove it from the water tank when you descale. Place it back after descaling, or replace it with a new water filter.
How often should you descale?
You have to descale a JURA coffee machine once every 2 years with the JURA Claris Pro Smart water filter. It's important that you replace the filter in time. The coffee machine will notify you when you have to replace the water filter and when to descale your machine. We recommend to use JURA descaling tablets. This cleaning agent is made for your coffee machine, so you won't damage it.

- Press this icon for a few seconds until you see the following red icon in the bottom right.
