Descaling
When the machine needs to be descaled, a corresponding prompt appears on the display.
The interval between descaling procedures depends on the following factors:
• Water hardness
• Water flow rate
• Use of a water filter
Danger of poisoning from ingesting or inhaling the descaler.
Do not drink or inhale the descaler or the rinse water output during the descaling pro-
cess.
CAUTION!
Risk of machine
damage!
Household descalers can destroy the coffee machine.
Only use Schaerer descaler for descaling. Liability cannot be accepted for damage re-
sulting from the use of other descalers.
The descaling message on the display can be delayed by pressing the button. However, dis-
pensing of beverages will be blocked after another 50 brewings. After that, the descaling pro-
cess must be carried out.
