MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
It is strongly recommended to descale the appliance regularly to enjoy a long service time.
Descale the machine at least once per month or more often in areas with hard water.
Descale first when the appliance hasn’t been used for a while
When the appliance hasn’t been used for a longer period it is best to descale it first, if
this wasn’t done before storing it. Severe scaling in the water pump may cause high
friction on first use which may (severely) reduce the maximum service life of your
machine. In this case, the pump may produce a loud noise for several minutes.
1. Place the appliance in a water reservoir (as small as possible).
2. Fill the reservoir to the MAX marking on the appliance.
3. Set the temperature to 70°C (158°C) and let the water heat up.
4. Add 5 grams of citric acid powder (food grade) per liter of water.
5. Let the appliance work for at least 20 minutes at this temperature.
6. Turn off the appliance and remove the power plug.
7. Let the appliance cool off until room temperature and remove it from the reservoir.
8. Rinse the bottom of the appliance (that is normally in the water) well with cold water.
Optionally, you can detach the grating carefully by gently pulling it downwards until it comes
off, after which you can use a soft cloth to gently wipe the metal parts to remove any
remaining scaling.
9. Make sure the appliance is completely dry before storing it.
Do not leave the machine in water unnecessarily after usage
When water dries up in the pump it will cause scaling. Therefore, do not leave the
appliance in water longer than necessary.
