Decalcifying your coffeemaker
CauTion: Do not immerse the warming plate or main housing in water or any other
liquid
Do not poke around in the water reservoir to avoid damage. Just rinse with cold water
periodically.
Do not operate the appliance without the filter basket properly in place. Do not use any
aggressive chemicals or decalcifier.
The build-up of lime in drip coffeemakers is normal and is caused by the minerals com-
monly found in drinking water. This result in an increase of energy consumption and
possibly the taste of the coffee will be affected. When your appliance needs to be decal-
cified a blue light will appear in the control panel display above the filter reset button.
Thus, depending on the water hardness and usage, your coffeemaker needs decalcified
periodically, to remove lime deposits (every 2 – 3 months).
Please use for decalcifying only the Gastroback Premium Descaler (Art. No.: 98175).
This descaler contains special metal gentle additives which are contained in our machines
components. With the Gastroback Premium Descaler use a mixture of 50 ml descaler and
max. 750 ml of water. Due to the different Water hardness and the frequency of use we
cannot provide detailed specifications about the decalcification.
1. Press the “Filter Reset” button on the control panel to turn off the blue light and reset
the count (Fig. 5).
2. Open the lid of reservoir, and pull out the water filter (Fig. 6).
3. Pour Gastroback Premium Descaler in the composition described above
4. Put a paper filter in the brew basket, close cover, and place empty carafe on the war-
ming plate.
5. Turn on the coffeemaker by pressing sTarT and let half of the vinegar water solution
brew through into carafe
6. Turn the coffeemaker off by pressing sTop at this point and let it soak for at least 15
minutes to soften any deposits.
7. Turn the coffeemaker back on by pressing sTarT and brew the remaining solution
into the carafe. When brew cycle has stopped, turn off coffeemaker by pressing STOP,
empty carafe and discard soiled paper filter.
8. Refill reservoir with cold water and turn on by pressing sTarT to turn another brew
cycle. You may want to repeat again to eliminate any vinegar smell/taste.
9. Wash the brew basket, water filter and carafe in warm dishwater and replace all the
