Get started with descaling
We'll explain how to descale your Krups espresso machine in 3 steps. These are the steps we'll go through:
- Step 1. Prepare the descaling

You need:

How often should you descale?
2 bags of descaling powder
| Water hardness strip

When the machine needs to be descaled, it'll notify you. This will be once every 3 months on average if you use a water filter. Not using a water filter?

- Place back the container.
Step 3: rinse the machine
- Press 'OK' to start the first rinse.
- After a couple of minutes, a message on the display will appear that tells you to empty the container.
