OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Check that the two red buttons have opened back out, otherwise the
door cannot close.
NOTE 1:
If the
infuser is not inserted correctly until hearing the click and the two
red buttons have not opened out properly, the service door will
not close and the machine will not operate (when switching on the
machine the light starts flashing (chap. 12 - point 9)).
NOTE 2: if it is hard to insert the infuser, (before inserting it)
squeeze it into size by pressing it vigorously from above and
below at the same time, as shown in Figure 32
NOTE 3:
if it is still hard to insert the infuser, leave it out of the machine, close
the service door, unplug from the mains then plug in again.Wait for all the lights
to go off, then open the door and replace the infuser.
•
replace the drip tray, complete with the grounds container;
•
close the service door.
10.3 DESCALING
Due to the continuous heating of the water used to make the coffee, over
time it is normal for the tubing inside the machine to fill with lime scale.
When the light starts flashing( chap. 12-point 5), it is time to descale
the machine.
NOTE:
when the light switches on, the coffee maker can still be used to
prepare coffee.
Proceed as follows:
•
prepare the solution as indicated on the packaging of the desca-
ling product supplied with the coffee maker (to purchase this con-
tact an authorised Dè Longhi service centre).
ONLY USE THE
DESCALING SOLUTION SUPPLIED BY DE’ LONGHI.
•
Pour the contents of the bottle of descaler (0.5 litres) into the
water tank and then add water (0.5 litres, as described in the
instructions on the bottle).
•
place a container with a minimum capacity of 1.5 litres under the
milk frother (Fig. 3);
•
turn the machine on by pressing the button (Fig. 4).
•
wait for the green and indicator lights to come on steady.
•
press and hold the button for at least 5 seconds (Fig.14). The
light inside the button switches on (chap. 11 - point 8) to indicate the
start of the descaling program (the and lights remain off to
indicate that it is not possible to make coffee).
•
turn the steam knob half a turn anticlockwise (Fig.5). The desca-
ling solution will come out of the milk frother and start to fill the
container underneath.
•
the descaling program automatically performs a series of delive-
ries and pauses, so as to remove the lime scale deposits from insi-
de the coffee maker.
