DESCALING PROCEDURE
The normal use of the machine with natural mineral water, both in bottle
and from the tap, entails the formation of limescale.
It is recommended to carry out the descaling cycle every 300 cups of
coffee (otherwise every 3-4 months) and/or when a constant decrease
of the dispensed coffee fl ow is noticed.
THE FREQUENCY OF THIS OPERATION DEPENDS ON THE
HARDNESS OF WATER USED.
A) Pour a dose of Bialetti descaling solution or equivalent (provided it is
not toxic and is suitable for coffee machines) into the water tank (4).
DO NOT USE VINEGAR OR VINE-
GAR-BASED SOLUTIONS AS DESCAL-
ING AGENT.
B)
Fill the tank with cold water up to the MAX level.
C)
Press the button (2) to switch the machine on. Wait until it remains
steady on.
D)
Be sure to use the machine without capsule inside: if needed, open
and close the lever (1)
E)
Dispense 2 cups of water (aprox.ly 150 ml each).
F)
Switch the machine off.
G)
Let the descaling agent act for aprox.ly 15-20 minutes with the
machine off.
H)
Switch the machine on and carry out again the operations described
in point e).
I)
Switch the machine off against for approx.ly 5 minutes.
J)
Repeat the operation described in points i) until the tank is completely
empty.

L)
Fill the tank with clean water up to the “MAX” level and insert it in
its seat.
M)

dispensing several times (the machine features a safety system,
which interrupts the dispensing automatically after 100 operating
seconds).
