Pour the descaler into
the tank up to the level
A marked inside the tank
(equal to one 100ml pack-
et), then add water (litre)
up to level B
(g. 49). Put
the water tank (with lid)
back in the appliance, close
the front door and press
"Next"
;
7. Place an empty container with a minimum capacity of
2 litres under the hot water/steam spout (E) and coee
spouts (A15) (g. 8). Press OK to start the process ("Back"
to go back to the previous screen or "Cancel" to exit the
procedure, remembering to remove the descaling solution
from the tank)
Important! Danger of scalding
Hot water containing acid ows from the hot water/steam and
coee spouts. Take care to avoid contact with splashes of this
solution.
8. IThe descale programme starts and the descaler liquid
comes out of the hot water and coee spouts (g. 11). A
series of rinses is performed automatically to remove all
the scale residues inside the coee machine;
After about 30 minutes, descaling stops;
9. The appliance is now ready for rinsing through with clean
water. Empty the container used to collect the descaler
solution; open the front door by pressing the button, ex-
tract the water tank, empty, rinse under running water, ll
with fresh water up to the MAX level and put back in the
appliance. Close the front door. Press "Next";
10. Place the container used to collect the descaler solution
empty under the coee spouts and hot water/steam spout
and press "OK" to start rinsing;
11. Hot water is delivered from the coee spouts and hot
water/steam spout;
12. When the water in the tank has run out, empty the con-
tainer used to collect the rinsing water;
13. (If the lter was installed): press the button and open the
front door; extract the water tank and, if removed previ-
ously, put the lter back. Press "Next" to continue;
14. Fill the tank with fresh water up to the MAX level, put
back in the appliance, close the door and press "Next" to
continue;
15. Place the container used to collect the descaler solution
empty under the hot water/steam spout
and press "OK"
to start rinsing;
16. Rinsing starts and water is delivered from the hot water/
steam spout;
17. When the water in the tank has run out, empty the con-
tainer used to collect the rinsing water, press the button
and open the front door, remove and empty the drip tray
(A12) and grounds container (A8), then put back in the
appliance;
18. Extract the water tank, top up to the max level, put back in
the appliance and close the front door, then press "Next"
19. The descaling process is now complete. Press "OK". The ap-
pliance performs a rapid preheat cycle and then goes back
to the homepage.
Please note!
• If the descaling cycle is not completed correctly (e.g. no
electricity) we recommend repeating the cycle;
• After descaling, it is normal for the grounds container
(A16) to contain water.
• If the water tank has not been lled to the MAX level, at
the end of descaling, the appliance requests a third rinse to
guarantee that the descaler solution has been complete-
ly eliminated from the machine's internal circuits. Before
starting rinsing, remember to empty the drip tray.
17. SETTING WATER HARDNESS
The descaling alarm is displayed after a period of time estab-
lished according to water hardness. The machine is set by de-
fault for a hardness value of "Level 4". The machine can also be
programmed according to the hardness of the mains water in
the various regions so that the machine needs to be descaled
less often.
17.1 Measuring water hardness
1. Remove the "Total hardness test" indicator paper (C1) from
its pack (attached to the Quick Guide).
2. Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for one
second.
3. Remove the paper from the water and shake lightly. After
about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares form, depending
on the hardness of the water. Each square corresponds to
one level.
17.2 Setting water hardness
1. On the display (B1), press the settings menu icon (B7);
2. Select "Water hardness";
3. Carry out the procedure described in the previous section
and measure water hardness;
4. Press the dot corresponding to the water hardness meas-
ured previously as indicated in the following table:
