5. Wash all parts using a washing-up liquid. Dry the parts thoroughly. The drip tray,
drip grid, front drawer and used capsule container can also be cleaned in the
dishwasher.
6. Then reinsert all parts into the machine.
Descaling
If the indicator light is yellow, the
machine needs to be descaled.
Do this within the next couple of
days. Do not wait any longer,
otherwise so much limescale may
collect that a descaling agent will
no longer have any effect.
Descaling takes approx.
30 minutes.
Tip:
We recommend durgol
®
swiss espresso
®
, which is available from any Tchibo
branch and from specialist retailers.
To descale the machine, proceed as follows:
1. Switch the machine off if
necessary: To do this, press
the left button (espresso) and
the middle button (caffè crema)
at the same time.
CAUTION
— damage to the machine due to limescale deposits
Descale the machine as soon as it indicates that this is necessary
•
(after approx. 50 litres)
.
This increases its service life and saves energy.
Do not use any descaling agents made on the basis of formic acid.
•
Use a standard liquid descaling agent suitable for coffee and espresso
•
machines. Other agents may damage materials in the machine and/or
have no effect.
2. Pour in a descaling agent:
Remove the water tank from the
machine and pour one portion
(125 ml) of durgol
®
swiss espresso
®
into the empty water tank.
IMPORTANT
: Pour in water
up to
the MAX mark
and reinsert the
container.
If you are using a different descaling agent, read the manufacturer’s
instructions.
IMPORTANT
: Pour in the descaling solution
up to the MAX mark
and reinsert the container into the machine.
3. Fold down the lever and remove
the drip tray if necessary.
4. Place a container with a capacity
of at least 600 ml under the
spout.
You will need to empty this
container several times
during the descaling
process.
5. Press and hold the left
button (espresso) and the
right-hand button (black coffee)
at the same time for approx.
5 seconds.
