DESCALING
It is advisable to clean the calcium from the machine
every 300 cups of coffee. For descaling, proceed as
follows:
1. Pour around a litre of water into the water tank;
2. Dissolve the contents of the sachet of scale-remover,
supplied, in the water tank. For subsequent
descaling operations, the scale-remover can be
purchased from Service Centres. As an alternative
to the sachets, use 2 spoonfuls (around 30 grams)
of citric acid, available in pharmacies.
3. Check that the filter holder is attached and then
place one container underneath the outlet and
another underneath the milk tank pipe;
4. Press the ON/OFF switch to turn the machine on;
5. Press the IFD PUMP and EXPRESSO PUMP
switches.
6. Wait until a quarter of the tank has been emptied,
then stop the operation by pressing the IFD PUMP
and EXPRESSO PUMP switches again.
7. Turn the machine off and wait 15 minutes (to allow
the scale-remover to dissolve the lime scale);
8. Repeat the operations described in points 4, 5, 6
and 7 a further 3 times;
9. To eliminate the leftover solution inside the circuit,
fill the water tank and the milk tank with water and
then press the IFD PUMP and EXPRESSO PUMP
switches.
10. Wait until all the water flows out and the water tank
is empty.
11. Iinally, to stop the operation, press the IFD PUMP
and EXPRESSO PUMP switches again.
12. Repeat steps 9, 10, and 11 another time.
Repairs for malfunctioning caused by problems of
calcium build-up are not covered by the guarantee if
the descaling process described above is not carried
out regularly.
