– If you have very hard water, notice
an unusual amount of steam or if the
beverage size is not what it should
be, descale the machine before the
Q LED comes on
– Although the enclosed MAVEA
MAXTRA lter system reduces the
amount of lime in the water signi-
cantly, it does not eliminate the need
for regular descaling
¡
– Do not drink any of the liquids used
for descaling
– Never use vinegar or vinegar-based
products
– Never interrupt the descaling
program
Your TASSIMO machine must be descaled
regularly, because heating water creates
limescale which accumulates in the machine
over time When descaling is needed, the
machine indicates this by activating the
“Descale required” ' LED (3e) When
this LED lights up, you should descale
your machine immediately Not doing so
may result in the machine not functioning
properly and beverage quality deteriorating
If you have not descaled the machine after
another 20 T DISCs, the indicator starts to
blink
Remove the water tank from your
TASSIMO machine and take out the
lter cartridge holder (5c) with the lter
cartridge (5d)
Remove the Service T DISC from the
compartment (6) at the back of the
machine
