How do you descale your JURA ENA 8 coffee machine?
On this page, you can see how to descale your JURA ENA 8. If you use a water filter and you replace it in time, you don't have to descale often. Descaling prevents the limescale buildup. You'll see a notification on the display of your coffee machine when it's time to descale.
Get started with descaling
Simply follow the instruction in the video to descale your coffee machine in 40 minutes. We'll go through these steps with you:
- Step 1. Prepare for descaling
- Step 2. Start descaling
- Step 3. Rinse the machine
You need:
- JURA Descaling Tablets (3 units)
- Measuring cup of at least 500ml
- Container of at least 500ml
Do you use a water filter? Remove it from the water tank when you descale. Place it back after descaling, or replace it with a new one.
How often should you descale?
If you use water filters, you only have to descale a JURA once every 2 years. The JURA ENA 8 automatically notifies you when it's time. Make sure you replace the Claris Pro Smart water filter in time. This water filter prevents 99% of the limescale buildup. We recommend to use JURA descaling tablets. This cleaning agent is made for your coffee machine, it won't get damaged.
