DESCALING

The descaling process takes approx. 35 minutes.

Limescale builds up inside the machine during use. It needs to be removed regularly as it may clog the water and coffee circuit. The machine tells you when descaling is needed. If the machine display shows this icon, it means that you need to descale.

Caution:

Not doing this will ultimately make your machine stop working prop- erly, and in this case repair is NOT covered by your warranty.

Always use the specially formulated descaling solution, since it has been designed to optimize machine performance.

The descaling solution can be purchased separately. For further details, please refer to the maintenance products page in this manual.

Warning:

Never drink the descaling solution or any products dispensed until the cycle has been carried out to the end. Never use vinegar as a descaling solution.

Note:

During the descaling cycle do not switch off the machine. Otherwise you will need to restart the descaling cycle from the very beginning.

To execute the descaling cycle, follow the steps below:

Press the “” button to access the machine main menu.

Press the “” button to select “MAINTENANCE”.

Press “” to confirm.
