DESCALING

Descale the machine when the message 
“DESCALE!” flashes on the display.

 Important! 

Descaler contains acids which may irritate the 
skin and eyes. 
It is vital to respect the manufacturer’s safety 
warnings given on the descaler pack and the 
warnings relating to the procedure to follow in 
the event of contact with the skin and eyes.

 Please note! 

Under no circumstances should you use 
sulphamic or acetic based descalers. Their use 
invalidates the guarantee. 
Failure to descale the appliance as described also 
invalidates the guarantee.

1. Turn the machine on. 
2.   Enter the programming menu by pressing 

the

P

 icon.

3. Select by pressing the

 icon.

“Descaling Confirm?” is displayed. Press

capacity of 1.5 litres under the hot water 
spout.

 Important! Danger of burns 

Hot water containing acid flows out of the hot 
water spout. 
Avoid contact with splashes of water.

6. Confirm by pressing the 

OK

 icon.

7. The message “Descaling...” is displayed. 

The descaling programme starts and the 
descaler liquid comes out of the water spout. 
The descale programme automatically 
performs a series of rinses and pauses to 
remove limescale deposits from inside the 
machine.

After about 30 minutes, the message “Rinsing
FILL TANK!” is displayed.
8. The appliance is now ready for rinsing 

through with clean water. 

 

Remove the water tank, empty, rinse under 
running water, fill with clean water and 
replace. “Rinsing... Press OK” is displayed.

9.  Empty the container used to collect the 

descaler solution and replace it under the hot 
water spout.

10. Press the 

OK

icon to start rinsing. Hot water 

flows out of the spout and the message 
“Rinsing...” is displayed.

the message “Rinsing Complete... Press OK”
is displayed.

12. Press the 

OK

 icon. The appliance goes off. 

To use it again, turn the appliance on by pressing 
the

button.

SETTING WATER HARDNESS

The DESCALE message is displayed after a 
period of time established according to water 
hardness.
The machine is set by default for a hardness 
value of 4 (very hard water).
The machine can also be programmed according 
to the actual hardness of the mains water in 
the various regions, varying the frequency with 
which the message is displayed.

Measuring water hardness

1. Remove the “TOTAL HARDNESS TEST”

indicator paper from its pack.

2.   Immerse the paper completely in a glass of 

water for one second.

3.   Remove the paper from the water and shake 

lightly.  After about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red 
squares form, depending on the hardness of 
the water. Each square corresponds to one 
level.
