Descaling
NOTICE
- Material damage due to limescale
Formation of limescale could damage the machine.
•
Descale the machine as soon as the machine indicates that this is
necessary.
This increases its service life and saves energy.
• Do not use any descaling agents made on the basis of formic acid.
•Use a standard, liquid, descaling agent suitable for coffee and espresso
machines. Other agents may damage materials in the machine and/or have
no effect.
• The descaling process cannot be interrupted. If the descaling process
was nevertheless interrupted (for example by a power failure), it must be
completed the next time the machine is switched on.
The use of the machine is blocked and not possible.
• Do not open the side door or try to turn the brewing unit when the power
is off. The brewing unit will set itself to the correct position the next time
it is switched on.
When the "Descale" symbol
lights up in the display, the
machine needs to be des-
caled.
Descale the machine within the next few days. Do not wait any longer, otherwise
so much limescale may collect that a descaling agent will no longer have any
effect.
The descaling process takes
about 15 minutes.
Do not leave the machine unattended during the descaling process.
Prerequisite:
• The machine is switched on and ready for operation.
1. Pull the water tank up and out of
the machine.
2. Pour a standard, liquid, descaling
agent suitable for coffee and
espresso machines into the
empty water tank. Add water up
to the MAX mark. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions for
the liquid descaler.
3. Reinsert the water tank in the
machine and push it down as far
as it will go.
4. Place an empty container (with a
capacity of at least 17 US.fl.oz
(500 ml)) under the coffee spout.
Remove the drip bowl.
You will need to empty this
container several times during
the descaling phase.
We recommend using two
containers. This facilitates the
emptying process.
