We advise to descale your coffee pad machine on a
regular bases. the period depends on the condition
of your water and the frequency of use. We advise to
descale the coffee pad machine approx. every three
months. you can use a special descalingproduct for
coffeemachines.
When you use a descalingproduct especially for
coffeemachines, you will have to follow the instructions
on the package of the descalingproduct accordingly.
• Switch off the coffee pad machine with the on/off
3
button.
• fill the reservoir according the instructions on the
package of the descalingproduct.
• place a large mug or bowl under the coffee outlet to
collect the descalingmixture.
• Open the drawer for the coffee padholder by pulling the
drawer gently outwards. the drawer will now
slide open.
• place a new or used coffeepad in the multi padholder
with the bulging side down and press it lightly. the
coffee pad machine will be better descaled when you do
this and it cannot be clogged with descalingbits.
• push the drawer gently inwards until it can’t go further.
• Switch the coffee pad machine on with the on/off
button
3
and press
directly
the 1-cup
- button and
2-cups

at the same time
. do
not
let the
machine heat up.
• the coffee pad machine will now rinse with the
descalingmixture.
• the coffee pad machine will automatically switch itself
off when the rinsingprocess is ended. repeat the
process until the water reservoir is empty. after the
descaling you will have to rinse the machine upto
3 times with 1 liter of fresh cold water to make sure
that there is no descalingproduct left behind in the
coffee pad machine to avoid a bad taste to the coffee.
Attention!
If you haven’t used the coffee pad machine for
a while, for instance if you have been away on a holiday,
you should remove all the separate parts for cleaning and
rinse the coffee pad machine with fresh water. place the
cleaned parts in the machine. this prevents an additional
taste.
When the appliance has a malfunction, one or two pilot

level and place it on the coffee pad machine.
Cause
Waterlevel is under the minimum
Solution
fill the water reservoir to the maximum level.
Cause
Boiler overheated
Solution
Switch the appliance off and rinse it as described in
the chapter “rinsing the machine”.
Cause
Less or no coffee at all comes out of the coffee outlet.
Solution
• remove the crema maker by pushing it out, from
below, with a blunt object like a pen or the back of
a teaspoon and rinse it with warm water.
One grain
of coffee can cause it to be blocked.
• check to see if the coffee outlet is clogged and if
necessary clean it.
• check the position of the taste selector.
• We advise to loosen the coffee in the coffeepads
before you place them in the machine.
This will
ensure a better transit of the water and will give a
finer layer of coffeecrema.
