5.
Making the grinder ready for operation:
Prepare the machine for operation
(see: ‚Making Your Drinks / Preparing the Appliance for Operation‘) and wait
until the home page is shown. Select “Coffee Beverages / Espresso / 1 cup”.
Start the grinder via the bean icon. While the grinder is operating, turn the grind
size dial to the desired setting.
NOTE
If the grinder is not inserted or not locked correctly, an error message is shown.
In this case, check the locking knob at the interior of the bean hopper. It must be
turned to the closed lock icon. If in doubt, simply turn the locking knob open and
then close it again.
6.
Preparations before making the next coffee:
Fill the bean hopper. Place a suited
vessel under the grinder outlet. For ensuring that the grinder gives off the correct
amount for your next coffee, start the grinder 5-6 times as described in step 5.
FLUSHING THE WATER SYSTEM
After prolonged storage, you should purge the water system, before making any
drinks. For this, you may start the cleaning functions of the steam wand (“Guide and
Settings / Maintenance / Steam wand Cleaning”; see: ‘Thoroughly Cleaning the
Steam Wand’) and for the espresso filters (“Guide and Settings / Maintenance /
Cleaning cycle”; see: ‘Cleaning the Espresso Filters and Filter Holder’). Ensure that
the drip tray is empty, before starting a cleaning function.
DESCALING THE WATER SYSTEM
To ensure optimum performance and for protection against damage the appliance
must be descaled regularly. The required frequency of descaling depends on the
water hardness of the water used and the frequency of usage of the machine. The
machine issues an appropriate message. When the message appears, perform the
descaling cycle as soon as possible.
WARNING
– During the descaling process large amounts of hot descaling
solution flow through the group head and steam wand.
Always ensure good ven-
tilation during descaling. Do not aspire the vapours of the descaling solution
to
avoid injuries to your aspiration tract. Ensure that the descaling solution is not spil-
led. The container used for accumulating the descaling solution may be hot too. If
required, protect your hands.
CAUTION
– To avoid damage to your health and/or damage to the machi-
ne due to harmful chemicals, only use a descaler recommended for the machine:
GASTROBACK Descaler (Art.-Nr.: 98175). Do NOT use vinegar.
There is no
liability claim of the purchaser for any damage caused by excessive lime depo-
sits within the machine and/or by the usage of unsuited descaling solutions
.
IMPORTANT -
It is possible to terminate the descaling cycle prematurely. However,
we strongly recommend to let the descaling cycle run until it is finished
. Other-
wise, residues of the descaling solution may be left within the water system.
For descaling you need the appropriate descaler and a large, heat-resistant container that
fits under the group head and steam wand (e.g. a pot, size: minimum 2.5 litres). Required
time: approx. 1 hour. If you wish to use the machine shortly after descaling, it may be
useful to change the water filter (see: ‘Before First Use / Installing the Water Filter’).
PREPARATION
1. Empty the drip tray and replace it. Remove the water tank and empty it. Then,
remove the water filter and rinse the water tank with clear tap water.
2. Prepare 2.5 litres of the descaling solution according to the instruction on the
pack. Then, fill the water tank up to the MAX filling level with the descaling solu-
tion and install the water tank into the machine.
3. Remove the filter holder from the group head and place a sufficiently large, heat-
resistant container with a capacity of at least 2.5 litres under the group head.
Point the steam wand into your container.
4. Connect the appliance to the power supply and switch it on. Wait until the home
page appears.
5. Select the command “Guide and Setting / Mainenance / Descaling cycle”.
DESCALING
6. Start the descaling cycle via the “Start” button. Using the “Next” button, check
your preparation via the following instruction pages step by step.
7. On the last instruction page, touch the button “Done“ for starting the descaling pro-
cedure.
The machine starts pumping hot descaling solution immediately.
Keep
your hands away from the group head and steam wand.
IMPORTANT -
During descaling, the machine executes several cycles of pumping
and pausing. It is possible to interrupt the descaling cycle (“Pause”) or even cancel
it (“Exit”), if any problem occurs.
