12 The second phase of the descaling cycle, the rinsing phase, starts and lasts 3 minutes. During this phase
the lights on the control panel go on and off to show that the rinsing phase is in progress.
13 Wait until the machine stops dispensing water. The descaling procedure is finished when the machine
stops dispensing water.
14 The machine will now heat up again. When the lights in the drink icons light up continuously, the
machine is ready for use again.
15 Install and activate a new AquaClean water filter in the water tank (see 'Activating the AquaClean water
filter (5 min.)').

When the descaling procedure is finished, the AquaClean light flashes for a while to remind you to
install a new AquaClean water filter.
Tip: Using the AquaClean filter reduces the need for descaling!
What to do if the descaling procedure is interrupted
You can exit the descaling procedure by pressing the on/off button on the control panel. If the descaling
procedure is interrupted before it is completely finished, do the following:
1 Empty and rinse the water tank thoroughly.
2 Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the Calc / Clean level indication and switch the machine back
on. The machine will heat up and perform an automatic rinsing cycle.
3 Before brewing any drinks, perform a manual rinsing cycle. To perform a manual rinsing cycle, first
dispense half a water tank of hot water by repeatedly tapping the hot water icon (Fig. 15) and then brew
2 cups of pre-ground coffee without adding ground coffee.
If the descaling procedure was not completed, the machine will require another descaling procedure as
soon as possible.
