Why won't my Krups EA81 start descaling program?
If you cannot start the descaling or cleaning program on your Krups Coffee Maker, or the appliance does not request to be descaled or cleaned, it's because the appliance only requests to be cleaned once it has made several types of coffee. The appliance only requests a descaling cycle once it has made a certain number of drinks using steam.
