5.2
Descaling
Scale deposits are left in the heating system when the appliance is used. The amount of
scaling depends on the hardness of the water being used. The appliance is fitted with a descale
indicator light (5.1), which lights up when the heating system has processed a certain quantity
of water and has to be descaled. The appliance continues to work so that it can be descaled
when it is not being used.
1.
Before descaling the appliance, carefully read the instructions for use on the scale
remover. We advise you to use the tried and tested Animo scale remover.
2.
Dissolve one 50 gram sachet of Animo scale remover in 1 litre of warm water
(approx. 60-70˚C).
3.
Slide an empty basket filter (3) into the filter holder and place an empty jug under it.
4.
Carefully pour the solution into the reservoir (6) and switch on the appliance (1).
The solution will now run through the heating system and discharge into the jug.
Leave the lid of the reservoir open!
5.
Switch off the appliance using switch (1) after 1 minute.
6.
Now wait about 2 minutes. The solution will react with the deposit in the heating system.
7.
After the waiting time, switch the appliance back on and allow the rest of the solution
to run through the system.
8.
Wash away the solution in the jug until the filter has finished dripping.
9.
After descaling the appliance, flush the system by following the coffee brewing
procedure twice but without using filter paper or coffee. Remember to empty the jug
in the meantime.
10. Switch off the appliance and thoroughly clean the basket filter and the jug.
11. The appliance is now ready for use.
