4. Press the double cup button. After 100ml of water dispenses into the container, turn off the coffee machine and leave the descaling solution inside for 5 minutes.
5. Turn on the coffee machine and repeat step 4 at least 3 times.
6. Empty and clean the water tank and refill it to the ‘MAX’ level with clean water.
7. Press the double cup button. After 100ml of water dispenses into the container, turn off the coffee machine.
