Descale a Tassimo
Minerals left behind by water can cause coffee to lose flavor or even damage the components of the brewer. Since water is an integral part of brewing coffee, a cleaning process known as descaling is a necessary part of maintenance. Tassimo machines are equipped with an automatic descaling detector. When the "Descaling" indicator illuminates, you should immediately run the descaling program. This program removes any mineral buildup left by water and ensures optimum flavor of each drink brewed. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Lift the handle of the Tassimo water tank. The water tank is located in the back of the Tassimo machine. Grip the handle and pull upward to remove the tank from the machine.
2. Remove the service T-disk from the back of the Tassimo machine. Open the brewing station by lifting the lid until you hear a clicking sound. Hold the disk so the barcode is facing down and place it on top of the disk holder. Firmly press down on the lid to close the top of the brew station.
3. Fill the water tank to the max fill line and pour the descaling solution into the tank. Insert the water tank into the back of the machine. Press down firmly on the water tank to ensure it is in the correct place.
4. Remove the cup stand from under the drink dispenser. Place a container able to hold a minimum of 17 ounces under the drink dispenser.
5. Press and hold the "Start/Stop" button until the "Automatic" and "Descaling" indicators illuminate. The "Automatic" indicator resembles a steaming coffee cup and the "Descaling" indicator has three small lines displayed.
6. Wait approximately 20 minutes. When the descaling procedure is complete the "Automatic" and "Descaling" indicator lights turns off.
7. Remove the water tank and rinse it thoroughly. Fill the tank with fresh water to the max fill line. Empty the container and place it back under the drink dispenser.
8. Open and close the brewing unit. Keep the T-disk in place on top of the disk holder. Press and hold the "Start/Stop" button until the Tassimo begins the rinsing process.
9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 four additional times.
10. Open the brewing station and remove the T-disk. Place the disk into the storage slot in the back of the machine. Close the brewing station lid.
