How to descale your Jura A1?

Written By Floriane Mailleux, last update on

Descaling your machine is part of its maintenance. However, if you replace the filters on time (which is obviously recommended!), the descaling procedure will be rarely required.

Good to know

Some information to be taken into account:

  1. Make sure to remove the water filter before descaling.
  2. When the descaling process is complete, make sure to empty the reservoir before reinserting a filter.
  3. Descaling takes approximately 40 minutes, but you don't need to stay near the machine during the procedure.
  4. We recommend using Jura or Solute descaling tablets.

When the "descaling" symbol lights up:

  3. Reinsert them.
  4. The symbol for the "Water tank" blinks.
  5. Remove the water tank and empty it.
