• Turn the machine on and position the Vario
System selector to the “LIGHT” position;
• After a few minutes, the hot vinegar will begin
to flow, through the filter holder, into the coffee
pot. Release some steam every so often by
turning the steam release knob.
• When the all of the solution has gone through
the machine, turn off the appliance and let it
cool down.
• Repeat these operations at least two times
using clean water instead of vinegar in order
to remove every trace of vinegar left in the
circuits.
The
drip coffee machine filter
must be decalcified
every 90 cycles. The lime removal can be done by
using the special lime remover solvents made for
drip coffee machines found on the market.
Alternatively, white wine vinegar can be used,
following this procedure:
• Pour two cups of white wine vinegar and three
cups of water into the tank. Insert the tank into
the machine.
• Place the coffee pot onto the hot plate and the
filter holder on this without coffee;
• Press the ON/OFF drip coffee switch,
percolate the equivalent of a cup of the solution
and then turn off the appliance.
• Allow the vinegar to sit in the machine for an
hour;
• Turn the machine back on and allow the rest of
the solution to percolate through the circuits;
• To rinse the appliance, operate the machine
with plain water and without using ground
coffee at least 3 more times (3 full tanks of
water).
The repairs of the coffee machine due to
maintenance operations that haven’t been carried
out, such as lime removal etc. will not be covered
by warranty.
