so coffee, use special blends suitable for espres-
so coffee machines and special cups with thick
sides.
Keep coffee in a cool place, in an hermetically
sealed container.
Operation time
The machine may be kept on all day long.
However, in case of a prolonged period of
idleness, it is advisable to enable the energy
saving function by pressing the standby

Descaling
Warning: The descaling operations
mus be carried out when the machine
components are cold.
Descaling removes limescale from all surfaces
and holes, thus ensuring a perfect operation of
valves, heating controls and other important
parts.
Note: due to the complexity of the coffee
machinehydrauliccircuit,thefollowingdescaling
cycles(automaticandstandard)donotallowthe
descaling of all tubes.
In fact, easily accessible components
such as the central unit (22) and its
plastic connection are excluded.
Themachine mustbe descaled every3-4 months,
depending on the water hardness degree.
A more frequent descaling is recommended
wherever the water hardness degree is very high.
Toavoiddangerousdelaystousers,thismachine
is supplied with a special control counter,
reminding the user to perform this operation,
according to the water hardness degree.
In this case, the following message will be
displayed:
"DESCALE "
When this message is displayed, the machine
does not stop; however, it is suggested to
descale quickly the machine.
Tocancel the message, seeprogramming menu
indications, page 86.
The machine has been adjusted on a 25°òH
value, which causes the warning light to switch
on after 150 l approx.
Shoulditbenecessary,thewaterhardnessvalue
may be exactly programmed, following the
instructions shown at page 88.
The following adjustments are possible:
Hardness4:highwaterhardness,over29°òH
(14°dH), i.e. 80 l water approx.
Hardness 3:mediumwaterhardness,approx.
20-29°òH (7-14°dH), approx. 150 l water
passage.
Hardness 2:soft water, approx. 12-20°òH
(4-7°dH) approx. 300 l water passage
Hardness 1:very soft water, less than 10°òH
(3°dH), approx. 500 l water passage
In hard water regions, a filter should be used
both to improve the coffee quality or to protect
the machine, thus reducing the descaling
frequency.
Note:for this purpose,use adescaling product
suitable for coffee machines.
Never use vinegar!
Descaling can be performed in two ways:
