DESCALING
Regular descaling will help prolong the life of the PRINCESS COFFEE MAKER PIANO BLACK. It is a
good idea to descale around once a month. If the local water supply is especially hard, twice a month is
recommended. Hard water is more than 20° DH (a German scale used to measure water hardness). Your
water company can tell you the degree of hardness.
You should also descale immediately if:
- the appliance makes gurgling noises;
- it takes longer than usual to brew;
- it still has water in the reservoir after brewing.
- the machine turns itself off during coffee-making
- the machine produces excessive amounts of steam.
Nearly all commercially available descaling products are appropriate for use. The instructions on most
products indicate whether they are suitable. Never use any product containing hydrochloric or sulphuric
acid. These are not suitable for descaling.
Proceed as follows:
- First allow the appliance to cool down sufficiently.
- Fill the reservoir with cold water.
- Add the amount of descaling agent indicated on the package.
- Place a filter paper in the permanent filter, not forgetting to put the pot in place.
- Switch on the appliance.
- Once about 2 cups have flowed through, switch off the appliance and let it stand for a half-hour to
allow the descaling agent to work. Switch on the appliance again. After all of the water with descaling
agent has flowed through, brew clean water through it three times to rinse away any remaining traces
of descaling agent.
NOTE: Let the appliance cool down for about three minutes in between rinse cycles. The warranty does
not apply to appliances with calcified build-up.
