18. DESCALING
Descale the machine when the
light (B5) on the touch
screen (B) flashes and only the
OK
(B15) and
ESC
icons (B14) remain on.
To descale immediately, press
OK
and follow the instruc-
tions from point 4.
To descale the machine later, press
ESC
. The
light
flashes on the touch screen to remind you that the machine
needs descaling.
Important!
• Before use, read the instructions and the labelling on the
descaler pack.
• You should use De’Longhi descaler only. Using unsuitable
descaler and/or performing descaling incorrectly may re-
sult in faults not covered by the manufacturer's guarantee.
To descale the machine, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the machine off (standby) by pressing the
but-
ton (A23 - fig. 7) (see section “5. Turning the machine off”);
2. Empty the drip tray (A15) and grounds container (A11) and
put both back in the machine;
3. Press and hold the
icon (B8) until the
light (B5)
and the
ESC
and
OK
icons light up;
4. Empty the water tank (A17) completely and remove the
water softener filter (C4), if present;
5. Pour the descaler (C3) into the tank up to level A (corre-
sponding to a 3.38 floz / 100ml pack) marked on the inner
surface of the tank, then add a litre of water up to level B
(fig. 26) and put the water tank back in the machine;
6. Place a container with a minimum capacity of 1.8 litres
under the frother (A20) and coffee spouts (A19) (fig. 27);
Important! Danger of burns
Hot water containing acid flows from the frother and coffee
spouts. Take care to avoid contact with splashes of this solution.
7. Press the
OK
icon to confirm that you have added
the descaler solution. The descaling procedure begins;
8. After a few minutes, the
ESC icon (B14) flashes
to indicate the steam/hot water dial
(A22) must be
turned to the
I
position;
9. When the dial has been turned to the
l
position, the des-
cale programme starts and the descaler liquid comes out
of the frother. A series of rinses and pauses are performed
automatically to remove all the scale residues inside the
coffee machine;
After about 35 minutes, the machine interrupts descaling and
the
light (B3) flashes.
