Cleaning and descaling
Duration: approx. 32 minutes
The cleaning and descaling programme combines the
individual cleaning and descaling functions. If the two
programmes are both due at around the same time, the
fully automatic espresso machine automatically
suggests this service programme.
Use the descaling container supplied. Once the
programme has ended, clean the container with
washing-up liquid or put it in the dishwasher.
Clean the brewing unit before the service programme
starts (see section
Cleaning the brewing unit
).
Note:
If a filter is installed in the water tank, it must be
removed before the service programme starts and must
not be replaced until the programme has ended.
