9.Replace the water tank.
DESCALING
Descale the appliance when the 
light on the panel flashes.
Important!
Descaler contains acids which may irritate the skin and eyes.
It is vital to respect the manufacturer’s safety warnings given on the descaler pack and the warnings relating to the procedure to follow in the event of contact with the skin and eyes.
Please note:
Use De’Longhi descaler only.
Under no circumstances should you use sulpha- mic or acetic based descalers. Their use invalida- tes the guarantee.
Failure to descale the appliance as described above also invalidates the guarantee.
1.Turn the machine on.
2.Empty the water tank (A12).
3.Pour the descaler diluted with water (respec- ting the proportions indicated on the desca- ler pack) into the water tank.
Place an empty container with a minimum capacity of 1.5 litres under the hot water spout.
4.Wait for the 
and 
lights to come on steadily.
Important! Danger of burns
Hot water containing acid flows from the cap- puccino maker. Avoid contact with splashes of water.
5.Press the 
button and hold it down for at least 5 seconds to confirm that you have added the solution and begin the descaling procedure. The light in the button remains on steadily to indicate that the descaling
programme has begun (the 
and 
lights go out as coffee cannot be made).
6.Turn the steam knob a half turn anticlockwi- se. The descaler solution flows out of the cappuccino maker into the underlying con- tainer.
The descale programme automatically per-
forms a series of rinses and pauses to remo- ve limescale deposits from inside the machi- ne.
After about 30 minutes, the water tank is empty
and the 
light comes on. Turn the steam knob a half turn clockwise as far as it will go.
The appliance is now ready for rinsing through with clean water.
11.Empty the container used to collect the de- scaler solution and replace it empty under the cappuccino maker.
12.Remove the water tank, empty, rinse under running water, fill with clean water and repla- ce.
13.Turn the steam knob a half turn anticlockwi- se. Hot water comes out of the spout.
14.When the water tank is completely empty,
the 
light goes out and the 
light co- mes on.
15.Turn the knob to the 0 position, fill the water tank again and the appliance goes off auto- matically.
To use the appliance, turn it on by pressing the 
button.
SETTING WATER HARDNESS
The 
message comes on after a period of time established according to water hardness. The machine is set by default for a hardness va- lue of 4 (very hard water).
The machine can also be programmed according to the hardness of the mains water in the various regions so that the machine needs to be descaled less often.
Measuring water hardness
1.Remove the “TOTAL HARDNESS TEST” indi- cator paper attached to this manual from its pack.
2.Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for one second.
3.Remove the paper from the water and shake lightly. After about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares form, depending on the hardness of the water. Each square corresponds to one level.
| Level 1 |
15 | Level 2 |
