Never rinse the boiler under the tap water
and never immerse it in water.
DESCALING
Over time, after making a large number of cof-
fees, a layer of lime scale may form on the bot-
tom of the boiler. This may make percolation
times excessively long.
To prevent this, the layer of lime scale must be
removed regularly by descaling.
Use commercially available products specifically
for descaling coffee machines (citric acid for
example).
To descale, proceed as follows:
1. Make sure the coffee maker is cold and
unscrew (fig. 1).
2. Fill the boiler with the descaler (fig. 10) and
wait half an hour.
Make sure the boiler is cold and NOT in
place on the base.
3. After half an hour, empty the boiler and make
sure the scale has gone from the bottom. Then
rinse the inside of the boiler. Do not immerse
the boiler in water.
4. Make at least three coffees and throw away.
Failure to descale the coffee maker as descri-
bed absolves the manufacturer from all liabi-
lity for malfunction.
