Descaling
Limescale deposits have an adverse effect not only on the quality of the espresso and the water,
but they also cause power losses and shorten the lifespan of the machine. The thicker a limescale
layer is, the more difficult it is to remove.
We therefore recommend regularly removing limescale deposits with a descaling agent in
accordance with the water quality in your area and how often the machine is used (ap- prox. every
2
– 6 weeks).
The first indications that descaling is required are a large amount of steam being produced and
slower brewing of the espresso.
The machine indicates at regular intervals that it needs to be descaled! When the yellow control
lamp (22) is lit, a descaling process should be performed. The control lamp goes out as soon as a
cleaning or descaling process has been performed.
STORAGE
Disconnect the machine from the mains power when it is not going to be used for a prolonged
period. Clean the machine again if necessary (see
Cleaning and Care
) and let it dry completely.
Store the machine and all accessories in a dry and clean place that is protected from direct
sunlight and cannot be accessed by children or animals.
