Proceed as follows:

-Remove the filter holder from its hook.

-Dissolve one full tea-spoon of decalcifying product (about 8 g.) in 1 measure (14) of warm water (about 220 ml), pour the solution into the boiler and close the boiler cap.

-Place a container under the coffee dispenser lip (with the filter hol- der removed), and another container under the steam arm.

-Bring the lever (7) to the pre-heat position (Fig. 5).

-Once the sound signal comes on, wait 2 minutes, then dispense one cup of water bringing the lever completely forward (Fig. 6).

-Push the lever back to the pre-heat position, and immediately dispense the steam from the MAXI CAPPUCCINO device (3).

-Repeat the entire procedure once more,ALWAYS following the

steps described in the paragraph “Successive use”.

Once finished decalcifying the coffee maker, rinse the boiler well with fresh water, then run the machine twice successively with only water so as to remove any trace of acid in the system.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The appliance does not dispense any steam:

-There are residues of ground coffee on the seal of the filter holder seat: clean the seal of the perforated disc with a damp sponge (Fig. 12)

-If the problem persists after you have followed these procedures, contact an Authorised Assistance Centre.
