Descaling
Descaling signal: when indicator light Eblinks YELLOW and the machine beeps 3 times, a
descaling cycle should be carried out, as illustrated below.
The machine features an advanced program that monitors how much water is used
to dispense beverages. This measurement provides the user with indications as to
when the machine needs to be descaled.
It is advisable to use the Caffitaly System descaling agent, designed to comply with the
technical characteristics of the machine, in full observance of consumer safety. The
descaling agent must be disposed of in compliance with manufacturer instructions
and/or with current regulations in force in the country where the appliance is used.
CAREFULLY read the directions for use on the packaging of the descaling agent.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and machine surfaces.
Switch the machine off during descaling, and do not lift the lever. A person must be
present during the operation.
Do not use vinegar: it could damage your machine!
• Switch the machine off by pressing the power on/off switch (Fig. 14).
• Empty and rinse out the used capsule drawer and drip tray (Fig. 6).
• Remove and empty the water tank (Fig. 5).
• Mix the contents of a bottle of Caffitaly System descaling agent with approximately 750
cc. of water (a total of 1 litre) and pour into the tank.
• Make sure that the lever is lowered (Fig. 3) and that there is no capsule inside the capsule
compartment.
• Remove the drip-tray (Fig. 17).
• Place a container (at least 500 ml) under the dispenser (Fig. 18).

• Press button Bto start the descaling cycle.
• The machine dispenses the descaling solution at intervals (5 doses with a 4-minute
pause between each one, for a total duration of about 25 minutes). During this step,
when the buttons must not be pressed, indicator lights Eand F blink YELLOW and
RED alternately.
• If the container fills up, empty it out.
• When the first step is over, button Blights up and the machine beeps repeatedly. The
water tank is empty.
• Carefully rinse out the water tank and refill it with fresh water (Fig. 4).
• Empty and rinse the used capsule drawer, the drip tray and the container used and put
them back in place.
• Press button Bto start the rinse cycle.
• Rinse water (about 500 ml) will be run through the machine. During this stage, indicator
lights Eand F blink alternately.
• When the rinse cycle is complete, the machine beeps and buttons A-B-Cblink simultane-
ously; the machine is warming up. When the buttons turn on and remain steadily lit, the
appliance is ready for use.
