You can inquire about the hardness degree in your

local administration.
5 For descaling, the chlorine filter (15, optional
equipment) has to be removed from the water contai-
ner (3).
We assume no guarantee for damages which
arise through non-observance of the descaling
instructions.
Be careful with the descaler to avoid any damage
to furniture and clothes.
Descaling programme
Your Coffeemaker for Soft Pods has an automatic des-
caling programme. It lasts between 15 and 20 minutes
and is interrupted twice so that you can refill water.
Advice: Once the descaling programme is started, it
cannot be stopped by pushing a button. This is for
the safety of all users. It prevents coffee from being
brewed until after the descaling solution has been
completely rinsed out.
In case of need you can unplug the appliance. In this
case, you should rinse twice afterwards as described
in chapter “Rinsing”.
1. 18 Put a collecting bowl which has a capacity of
at least 650 ml or 2 big coffee cups under the
coffee outlet (8).
2. 7 Insert the empty pod holder (7) into the brewing
chamber (6) and 10 place the swivel lever (5)
over the symbol „Brewing“ .
3. Fill one portion (125 ml) of durgol

the appliance.

button . The display flashes red. Carefully
only fill in enough water until it is continuously illu-
minated.
5. 18 Push both start buttons and
simultanously until (3 to 4 seconds), until the dis-
play (14) lights yellow steadily. Now you can
release the buttons, the descaling programme
starts.
6. After approx. 10 minutes the display flashes
red. Empty the collecting bowl and put it under the
hot water outlet (20) again. After rinsing the water
container (3) carefully, fill it with fresh water up to
the max indication.
7. 6 Push the swivel lever (5) over the symbol
„Hot water“ .
8. Push any start button or
in order to
continue the first rinse.
9. After approx. 3 minutes the display flashes
red/green. Empty the collecting bowl and put it
under the coffee outlet (8) again.
10. 10 Push the swivel lever (5) over the symbol
„Brewing“ .
11.Push any start button or
in order to
continue with the second rinse.
12.After approx. 3 minutes, the descaling programme
is finished and the appliance switches off automa-

After descaling it is best to put the pod holder (7) and
the coffee outlet (8) with filter insert into the dishwasher.
Help if faults occur
The following advice shall help you to remedy faults.
If you should not succeed, please send the appliance
to our service department for repairing.
Red flashlight despite filled water container
It might be possible that lime scale prevents the free
movement of the float in the water container (3) after
a longer utilisation. Left-overs of the packing material
of the new appliance might block the float.
The water container (3) has to be cleaned and des-
caled. If you shake the empty water container, the
float should move clearly audible.
Appliance also switches off after second descaling
For a successful first usage it is compulsary that both
rinsing operations work completely up to the auto-
matic switch-off of the pump (approx. 60 seconds). In
case you switched off the appliance manually before-
hand, e.g. if a collecting bowl was too small and thus
overflowed, you have to start the operation again.
