Choosing not to use a descaling
cartridge
If you do not want to install a descaling
cartridge, the system must be sealed
with the adapter. Messages such as
“Insert a new cartridge” will be not
displayed.
Remove the descaling cartridge.
Insert the adapter in place of the
descaling cartridge.
If you remove the descaling cartridge,

appropriate descaling agent is
required (see “Descaling the machine”
in “Cleaning and care”).
