DESCALING
A step-by-step video explaining the descaling process can be found
at www.tchibo.de/cafissimo-entkalkung .
The descaling process takes approx. 25 minutes and is split between
the descaling itself and a rinse cycle. Do not under any circumstance
interrupt or switch off the machine during either of these cycles.
Limescale builds up inside the machine during normal use. It needs
to be removed regularly as it may clog the water and coffee circuit of
your machine. The machine automatically indicates when it needs
descaling when the service indicator light (orange) is constantly
lit.
Not doing this may ultimately make your machine
stop working properly, and in this case repairs are NOT
covered by your warranty.
We recommend using Saeco descaling solution (sold
separately), whose formula has been designed to
respect the technical specifications of the machine, thus
ensuring its continued service in the long term and for its safe
and risk-free use. The descaling solution is to be disposed of
according to the manufacturer’s instructions and/or the
regulations in force in the country of use. The Durgol descaling
solution also respects the technical specifications of the
machine.
