■ When to descale
The frequency of descaling depends on the water hardness and the number of coffee cycles. When the
following signs are encountered: cycle time lengthened, high evaporation, high level of noise at the end of
cycle, stop during the cycle, it signifies that your machine is calcified.
The descaling of the coffee maker must be between 20 and 30 cycles or once a month depending on the
water hardness.
How to descale your KRUPS coffee maker
