However, we would advise you to use the
Krups descaling accessory, reference F054,
which is available from Krups after-sales ser-
vice centres. This accessory includes, apart
from two descaling doses, a testing strip for
water hardness to assess the frequency of
descaling of your appliance in normal use.
Descaling depends on the hardness of the
water, but also on the use cycle. The frequently
of descaling indicated by the F054 accessory is
thus given by way of indication only.
- Then follow the following method:
• Remove the Claris-Aqua Filter System
cartridge if you have installed one.
• Unscrew the grid from the brewing head of
the appliance and clean it (21).
• Dissolve a sachet of KRUPS descaling
accessory, reference F054, in half a litre of
lukewarm water and pour the whole lot into
the empty water tank.
• Start the appliance by pressing button (N)
(4). As soon as the appliance reaches the
right temperature, the orange temperature
control light switches off.
• Place a container under the brewing head.
Run through about 1/3 of the liquid
immediately, setting the selector to the posi-
tion
(9).
• Stop the appliance by pressing button (N) (4)
and leaving the position
(9) engaged
and wait for 10 – 15 minutes to allow the
descaler to take effect.
• Next, start the machine again by pressing
button (N) (4) and allow the rest of the
liquid to run through.
• Then rinse with two water tanks of fresh
water, clean the brewing head and replace
the grid on the head of the appliance
(Consult the “Cleaning the Machine”
section).
