Descaling
In order no to impair the service life of the appliance and the quality
of the espresso, the appliance must be descaled at regular intervals.
The intervals between descaling depend on the water hardness
(with hard water every 80 brews; with soft water every 150 brews).
Fill the water tank to the
— MAX —
mark with water and add
citric acid or vinegar essence (approx. 5% acid).
NOTE
If you use a commercially available descaling agent,
►
observe the manufacturer's instructions for use.
Place a fairly large vessel under the screen carrier holder.
Turn the selector switch (4) to position
and allow one third of
the descaling solution to run through the appliance.
Turn the selector switch (4) to the middle position
and allow
the descaling solution to work for approx. 30 minutes.
Turn the selector switch (4) to position
again and allow the
rest of the descaling solution to run through the appliance.
NOTE
If the appliance is severely scaled, it may be necessary to
►
repeat the descaling process.
Rinse out the water tank thoroughly and flush out the appliance
by allowing two tank fillings of clean water to run through the
appliance.
Wash all removable parts with warm water and detergent before
preparing espresso again.
