Descaling the coffee system
The descaling cannot be interrupted once the OK button has been pressed. The process must be allowed to run through to completion.
This is a safety feature to ensure the process will be completed. Descaling is important to increase the life of the machine and to ensure the best results possible.
The display will guide you through the descaling process. Follow the prompts (for example, empty drip tray, fill water tank, etc.).
Do not skip any steps or remove a part unless prompted by the display. This will cause the program to fault and descaling will restart.
^Remove the water tank and fill it to the mark k with lukewarm water. (Do not under fill the water tank, this will cause the descaling process to end prematurely.)
^Add 2 descaling tablets to the water. Allow the descaling tablets dissolve completely, before closing the lid and placing the water tank back into the appliance.
^When the message appears in the display, remove the capsule plate and replace it with the colored descaling funnel.
^Place the waste container under the steam valve and coffee dispenser to collect the waste water.
There will be at least 5 minutes before the descaling process starts. This time is needed for the descaling tablets to completely dissolve in the water. If the process takes longer than 5 minutes to start, the appliance is too warm.
During the descaling process, a small amount of water and descaling agent will exit the steam valve and coffee dispenser. This is followed by an activation period, before more descaling agent is drained. A message in the display will appear to let you know approximately how long the descaling process will take.
