•Carefully clean the inside of the machine by scraping it with a plastic or wooden fork (Figure

25) and then pick up all the residues using a vacuum cleaner (Figure 26)

•Replace the brewing system by sliding it onto the supports and the pin at the bottom. Then

push the PUSH symbol fully in until you hear a click.

Check that the two red buttons have opened back out, otherwise the service door cannot close properly.

•If the brewing system is not inserted correctly until hearing the click, the two red buttons have not opened out properly and the service door will

not close, and the machine will not operate. The light will start flashing if this is the case.

•If it is difficult to insert the brewing system, squeeze it into size by vigorously pressing from above and below at the same time (Figure 27).

•If it is still difficult to insert the brewing system, leave it out of the machine, close the service door, unplug the machine from the power outlet and then plug it in again. Wait for all the lights to go off, then open the door and replace the brewing system.

•Replace the drip tray and used coffee container.

•Close the service door.

15.7 Decalcification:

•Due to the continuous heating of the water used to make espresso / coffee, over time it is normal for the tubing inside the machine to fill with

lime scale. When the		light starts flashing, it is time to decalcify the
machine.
• When the	light switches on, the machine still can be used to prepare
espresso / coffee. But for the best tasting espresso / coffee, it is
recommended that you decalcify the machine when the			light starts
to flash.

•The machine must be plugged in and turned on during the decalcification process.

Proceed as follows:

•Prepare the solution as indicated on the packaging of the decalcification product supplied with the machine. To the purchase the decalcification solution, please contact a De’Longhi customer service representative at 1-800-322-3848 (U.S. Only). Note: Only use the decalcification solution supplied by De’Longhi.
