•Press and hold for 3 seconds the ‘DESCALE’ button, the ‘DESCALE’ indicator changes from a flashing light to a constant light. The descaling programme is now ready and the process should not be interrupted. See figure 61.

Note: Before the automatic process starts you must descale the steam/hot water nozzle.

•Place a container under the steam/hot water nozzle. The container should hold at least 200mL. Turn the steam/hot water switch up. Leave the switch up until the pump switches off and no descaling solution emerges from the nozzle. See figure 62.

•Turn the steam/hot water switch to the ‘off’ position and the automatic descaling process of the brewing unit starts. See figure 63.

Note: The ‘DESCALE’ indicator remains illuminated during the descaling process. The programme is carried out in 2 phases; phase 1 descaling phase with 12 cycles as well as phase 2 rinsing phase. Between the two phases, the coffee waste container must be emptied and the water reservoir must be refilled with water. In case of power failure the programme has to be restarted.
