Descaling - Bosch THD2021GB Instructions For Use Manual

– Like each natural product, the consist-
ency of the BRITA MicroporeFilter is
subject to natural variances. This can
lead to a slight abrasion of small carbon
particles into your filtered water, notice-
able as black bits. These particles have
no negative health effects. If ingested,
they will not harm the human body. In
case you observe carbon particles,
BRITA recommends to flush the cartridge
several times or until the black bits
disappear.
– BRITA cannot accept responsibility or
liability if you do not respect our recom-
mendations for the use and exchange of
the BRITA filter cartridge.

Descaling

Your appliance has an automatic descaling
programme. When the N icon lights up,
run the descaling programme as soon as
possible. If the descaling programme is not
run as instructed, the appliance may be
damaged.
Tip: With very hard, calciferous water,
please descale the appliance more often
than the N symbol is displayed. Even
filtered water contains low amounts of
calcium carbonate.
Turn the appliance off with the on/off
►
switch.
Press and hold the start/stop button.
►
Turn the appliance back on with the on/
►
off switch.
Release the start/stop button as soon
►
as the N symbol lights up.
Now proceed as described under "Running
the descaling programme".
Suitable descaling agents are available
from Bosch Customer Service (Article
No. 310967) or from specialty retailers.
Notes:
– Never interrupt the descaling programme.
– Never drink any of the liquids used in
descaling.

– Never use vinegar or vinegar-based
products.
– Always remove the filter holder and the
filter cartridge before starting the descal-
ing programme.
Running the descaling programme
Remove the water tank, pour out any
►
remaining water, and reinsert it.
Prepare the descaling solution accord-
►
ing to the manufacturer's instructions
and pour it into the water tank up to the
calc mark. A descaling agent approved
especially for this machine is available
from Bosch Customer Service (Article
No. 310967) or from specialty retailers.
Place a container holding at least 500 ml
►
under the water outlet. The container
must fit the cup stand exactly and must
remain in place. Set the cup stand to the
lowest position.
Press and hold the start/stop button for
►
at least 10 seconds to start the descaling
programme.
The descaling programme will now
►
run automatically. The N icon flashes
while the programme is running. (The
programme runs for approx. 10 minutes).
The descaling solution is pumped
through the appliance in multiple phases
and then runs into the container until
the water tank is almost empty. A small
amount of solution is always left in the
tank.
When the most recently selected
►
temperature icon lights up, the descaling
program has finished.
Rinse the water tank thoroughly and fill
►
up to the max mark with fresh water.
Now select and draw warm water three
►
times to rinse out the appliance. Do not
drink this water!
Important: Do not interrupt the descaling
process under any circumstances. If the
programme is interrupted because of, for
example, too little water or a power failure,
it must be restarted.
