Descaling

Descaling

Limescale builds up in the coffee machine during use. It will need to be descaled regularly. How often, will depend on the hardness of the local water supply.

The coffee machine will remind you when the descaling programme needs to be carried out. NO. PORTIONS UNTIL DESCALING: 50 will appear in the display. The remaining number of drinks that can be made before descaling will now show in the display after each drink is made.

^Confirm the message by pressing the OK button.

When 0 is reached, the coffee machine will lock out. START THE DESCALING PROGRAMME will appear in the display.

Descaling must now be carried out. The programme takes approx.

20 minutes.

You can switch the coffee machine off if you do not want to run the descaling programme at this time. However, you will not be able to make any more drinks until the descaling programme has been carried out.

The machine will guide you through the whole procedure. Various instructions will appear in the display, e.g. you will be prompted to empty the drip tray, fill the water container, etc.

During the descaling programme, water containing descaling agent will run out of the steam and hot water spout. This is followed by an activation period before a little more descaling agent is dispensed.

^Press the OK button to start the descaling programme.

This descaling programme cannot be cancelled once it has started. The programme has to be completed through to the end.

^Turn the cappuccinatore dial to the ￿ position.

If the coffee machine is too hot, it will cool down for approx. 10 minutes before starting to run the descaling programme.

TIP Place a suitable container under the cappuccinatore, e.g. the waste container, so that you do not have to empty the drip tray too frequently.
