Descaling
Tip:
Descaling agent: durgol
®
swiss espresso
®
is available from any Tchibo branch
and from specialist retailers.
If the indicator light lights up yellow and 3 signals
sound, the machine needs to be descaled. Do this
within the next couple of days. Do not wait any longer,
otherwise so much limescale may collect that a
descaling agent will no longer have any effect.
Descaling takes about 50 minutes.
CAUTION
– damage to the machine due to limescale deposits
Descale the machine as soon as the machine indicates that this is
•
necessary
(after approx. 50 litres).
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.
