areas. This can reduce the build-up of scale but may not stop it altogether. The machine
should be de-scaled regularly. (3-6 months) The frequency that de-scaling is required
depends on the local water supply; hard water areas need more attention.
The ‘Descale’ indicator is set to trigger every 300 cycles as a reminder for the user to descale
the machine. The machine will continue to operate but the ‘Descale’ light will not reset until
the ‘Descale Reset’ button is depressed and held during a power up sequence.
DESCALING PROCEDURE
•
Dissolve the recommended amount of scale remover (see instructions for scale
remover) in one litre of warm water (approx 60 – 70
°
C).
•
Slide an empty filter basket into the basket guide rails and place an empty jug/flask
under it.
•
Carefully pour the solution into the tank (cold water reservoir) and switch on the
machine. The solution will now run through the heating system and discharge into the
jug/flask. Leave the lid of the tank open.
•
Switch off the machine after one minute.
•
Wait about 2 minutes. The solution will react with the scale in the heating system.
•
After the 2 minutes switch the machine back on and allow the rest of the solution to
run through the system.
•
At the end of the process the ‘Brew Ready’ light will illuminate and the sounder will
sound. (2 short pulses).
•
Dispose of the de-scale solution and rinse out the jug/flask.
•
After descaling the machine, flush the system twice by following the coffee brewing
procedure without using filter paper or coffee. Remember to empty the jug/flask each
time.
•
Switch off the machine and thoroughly clean the basket filter and the jug/flask.
•
The machine is now ready for use.
•
The ‘Descale’ light will not reset until the ‘Descale Reset’ button is depressed and held
during a power up sequence.
CLEANING
The exterior of this machine may be cleaned with a damp cloth and a light detergent. Do
not use abrasive cloths or creams, as this will spoil the finish of the machine. Do not use a
water jet or spray. The glass jugs and flasks can be washed normally and rinsed clean. The
coffee deposits in the coffee jugs/flasks and the filter can be cleaned with a suitable Jug/Urn
Cleanser.
The Filtro is designed with a spray head which can be easily removed by hand for cleaning or
de-scaling - the bayonet type of fixing can be simply twisted in and out of position. Ensure
that the spray head is securely in place when replacing it.
