Other cleaning
•Clean the jug and filter holder regularly.
•Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents when cleaning the machine"s plastic components. A soft cloth is sufficient.
•NEVER immerse the appliance in water.
DESCALING
The limestone contained in the water will, with the passing of time, cause obstructions likely to prevent the coffee machine from working properly, thereby increasing the time needed to make coffee. The formation of limestone deposits depends on the hardness of the water and on how often the machine is used. To get the best out of your appliance, it is necessary to descale it from time to time. The coffee machine is equipped with a system for checking the quantity of limestone deposits. When these reach a high level, the ON coffee light (T) will begin to flash: this means that it is time to descale the coffee part. To do so, you should proceed as follows:
•remove the chlorine filter and the permanent filter
from the appliance (to avoid them becoming contaminated with vinegar);
•pour out a sachet of descaler and 4 cups of water; dissolve the descaler in the water by stirring it with a spoon and pour the solution into the water tank (fig. 4). As an alternative, pour in 2 cups of vinegar;
•put the jug on the hotplate and attach the filter holder without the ground coffee;
•press the ON/OFF key and allow the equivalent of 2 cups to percolate before switching off the appliance;
•leave the solution to take effect for an hour;
•turn the machine on again and allow the rest of the solution to percolate;
•rinse by making the appliance work only with water at least 3 times (1 full jug each time);
•if the ON light (T) is still flashing at the end of the operation, repeat the descaling process. Warning: never descale the boiler.
