8. Place an empty container
with a minimum capacity
of 1.8 litres under the cof-
fee spouts (A14) and hot
water spout (C6) (fig. 38).
Important! Danger of
scalding
Hot water containing acid
flows out of the coffee spouts
and hot water spout. Take care
to avoid contact with splashes
of this solution.
9. Press the button to confirm that you have added
the descaler solution. The message "Descale underway" is
displayed and the descaling procedure begins. The descaler
liquid comes out of the coffee spouts and hot water spout
and a series of rinses and pauses is performed to remove
limescale deposits from inside the machine;
After about 25 minutes, descaling stops and the messages
"RINSING" and "FILL TANK" alternate on the display.
10. The appliance is now ready for rinsing through with clean
water. Empty the container used to collect the descaler
solution. Extract the water tank, empty, rinse under run-
ning water, fill with fresh water up to the MAX level and put
back in the appliance: "RINSING, Confirm?" is displayed;
11. Place the container used to collect the descaler solution
empty under the coffee spouts and hot water spout (fig.
37);
12. Press the button to start rinsing. Hot water flows
out of the spouts and the message "Rinsing Please wait"
is displayed;
13. When the water tank is empty, the messages "RINSING",
"FILL TANK" and "REPLACE FILTER" (if previously removed)
alternate on the display;
14. Remove the water tank, replace the filter (if previously re-
moved), fill the tank up to the MAX level with fresh water
and insert it in the appliance: the display will show "RINS-
ING Confirm?";
15. Place the container used to collect the rinsing water empty
under the hot water spout;
16. Press the button to restart rinsing: Hot water flows
out of the hot water spout only and the message "RINSING
Please wait" is displayed;
17. When it finishes, the message "Rinsing complete, Con-
firm?" appears on the display;
18. Press the hot water button. The message "FILL
TANK" is displayed;
19. Empty the drip tray, remove and top up the water tank with
fresh water to the MAX level and put back in the machine.
The descaling cycle is now complete.
Please note:
• If the descaling cycle is not completed correctly (e.g. no
electricity) we recommend repeating the cycle;
• After descaling, it is normal for the grounds container
(A15) to contain water.
13. SETTING WATER HARDNESS
The DESCALE message is displayed after a set period of time that
depends on the hardness of the water.
The machine is set by default for a hardness level of 4. The ma-
chine can also be programmed according to the hardness of the
mains water in the various regions so that the machine needs to
be descaled less often.
13.1 Measuring water hardness
1. Some models include an indicator paper (C1), attached to
the English instructions. If the indicator paper is not includ-
ed with your model, contact Customer Services to buy one.
2. Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for one
second;
3. Remove the paper from the water and shake lightly. After
about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares form, depending
on the hardness of the water. Each square corresponds to
1 level;
soft water
hard water
very hard water
slightly hard water
13.2 Setting water hardness
1. Press the P button (B4) to enter the menu;
2. Turn the selection dial (B2) to select "Water Hardness".
3. Confirm the selection by pressing the
button (B9);
4. Turn the selection dial and set the level shown by the indi-
cator paper (C1) (see previous section);
5. Press the button to confirm the setting;
6. Press the button (B5) to exit the menu.
The machine is now reprogrammed with the new water hard-
ness setting.
14. WATER SOFTENER FILTER
Certain models are fitted with a water softener filter (C4). If this
is not the case with your model, you are recommended to pur-
chase one from De’Longhi Customer Services.
