Descaling - KitchenAid 5KES0503 NESPRESSO Handbuch

CARE AND CLEANING

Descaling

Calcium deposits ("scale") from water will build up in the Espresso Machine over time
and may impair espresso quality. Scale should be removed every month; local hard-water
conditions may require more frequent descalings. Use the Nespresso brand packaged
descaling agent available online to remove scale. Follow the directions on the package.
KitchenAid does not recommend using home remedies or water and vinegar solutions
to descale the Espresso Machine.
Add two descaling agent packets to the
1
tank per package directions then fill the
water tank with water to the "max" fill
line. Replace tank on espresso machine.
Enter descaling mode by turning the
3
brew button to the left most position
and holding it for 6 seconds until the
light starts to blink.
Place an empty container (at least
2
1.5L) under the coffee outlet.
Then rotate the selection dial until
4
the blinking light is above the first
right position.
