30 DESCALING / LEGAL INFORMATION
11 DESCALING
The formation of lime on the inside of
the appliance is inevitable.
If you notice a reduction in the water
capacity of the appliance it is necessary to
descale the machine.
If you wish to descale the
appliance yourself, use a descaler
especially made for coffee machines.
Use a product normally available on the
market, that is neither toxic nor harmful.
Warning! Never use vinegar as a
descaler.
• Remove the water container and empty
out any remaining water.
• Mix the descaling agent with water
as directed on the package and pour the
solution into the water container; place
the water container inside the machine.
• Turn on the machine by pressing the main
switch.
• Position the steam tube over the drip tray.
•
Empty the entire contents from the
water container at intervals (one cup at a
time) by turning the steam knob (6)
counterclockwise and pressing the coffee
switch (4); to cut off flow press the coffee
switch (4) again and turn the steam knob
(6) clockwise.
• Every time a cup of descaler is released
the machine should be turned off at the
main switch (3) and left for 10-15 minutes
to give the descaling solution time to act.
• When all the descaling agent has
been used up, take out the water
container, rinse it out and fill it with fresh
drinking water.
• Place the container back inside
the machine; empty out 2/3 of the water
in the container by turning the steam knob
(6) counterclockwise and pressing the
coffee switch (4); to cut off flow press the
coffee switch (4) again and turn the steam
knob (6) clockwise.
• Let the machine heat up and empty out
the water remaining in the water container
by turning the steam knob (6)
counterclockwise and pressing the coffee
switch (4); to cut off flow press the coffee
switch (4) again and turn the steam knob
(6) clockwise.
If a descaling product that has not
been recommended is used, we
do advise the client to follow the
manufacturer’s instructions found on
the packet.
