Descaling your Hot Cup

To maintain it’s performance, your Hot Cup will require descaling once every three 
months or so. You may need to descale your Hot Cup more frequently if you live in a 
hard water area. 
By changing the MAXTRA

® 

cartridge more frequently, you will need to descale less 

often. BRITA

®

 recommends to exchange the MAXTRA

®

 cartridge every 4 weeks.
