illuminated. Make steam for 2 minutes and then turn the steam knob to the "O"
position. Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the unit immediately and let the
descaler collect in the internal piping for at least 15 minutes.
6. Restart the unit and repeat steps 2-5 at least three times, then press and release
the coffee/steam button. When the green indicator is illuminated, press down the
pump control button to brew until no descaler is left.
7. Perform the brewing process (using no coffee powder) with tap water filled up to the
MAX level of the water tank. Repeat the steps of 2-5 for 3 times (it is not necessary
to wait 15 minutes in step 5), then brewing again until no water is left in the tank.
Note:
Ensure you repeat step 7 at least three times to guarantee the piping is clean.
