How often should you descale?
You have to clean and descale your coffee machine every 3 months. Make sure you also place a water filter in the water tank and replace it with a new one every 3 months. That way, you prevent a large part of the limescale and extend the lifespan of your machine.
Step 1: prepare the descaling
1: press the button furthest to the right to open the menu. 2: select the 'Calc 'n Clean' cycle. 3: press the dial to confirm. 4: remove and empty the drip tray and put it back in place. 5: remove and empty the milk reservoir and put it back in place. 6: put a cleaning tablet in the compartment for ground coffee on top of the machine. 7: press the dial to confirm. 8: empty the water tank and remove the water filter.
Step 2: descale the machine
1: pour 0.5L lukewarm water into the water tank. 2: place a descaling tablet in the water tank and wait for it to dissolve. 3: place a 1L container below the coffee spout. 4: press the dial to start the descaling cycle.
Step 3: complete the cleaning cycle
1: rinse the water reservoir once the descaling cycle is complete. 2: put the water filter back into the water tank. 3: fill the water tank with fresh water up to the 'max' level and put it back in place. 4: empty the drip tray and milk reservoir once the cycle is finished. 5: the descaling process is now finished.
