Descale __________________________________________________
13.Descale
Caution
 Never clean the machine with vinegar. This
causes damage and makes your coffee taste
bad!
 Damage caused by incorrect descaling or failure
to descale is not covered by the guarantee.
 These liquids are scalding hot! Danger of
scalding!
 Follow the safety instructions in the descaler
packaging.
Caution
Do not consume water dispensed from the
descaling or rinsing process
Note
 Descalers must be used following the
manufacturer’s instructions!
Drinking water varies according to region. The lime
particles in hard drinking water are deposited as residues
in the machine and can block the piping and cause
damage. To prevent this, be sure to decalcify the machine
at the very least after making 300 to 400 cups of coffee or
in any case if the output falls significantly or, in any case
after one or two months.
Descale the machine correctly to prevent damage. So
it is essential to follow these instructions:
1. Recommendations: purchase commercially
available descaler (descaling liquid), and dilute it
following the instructions set out by the particular
descaling liquid manufacturer; pour the mixture in
the water tank.
2. Make sure the capsule container is empty.
3. Place a large bowl under the dispensing head to
collect the descaling liquid and lime residues and
turn on the power switch (the coffee dispensing
displays flash in blue).
4. Press both dispensing button to choose the hot
water or cold water cleaning mode (See
11.Cleaning the appliance) according to the
instructions on the descaling agent. Wait until
output has completed.
5. Repeat the process 4 & 5 until the tank is empty.
6. Rinse the water tank well and refill with water.
Place the tank back inside the machine and press
the coffee dispensing button. Press the button
again until the water tank is empty.
