Descaling
The descaling process cannot be interrupted. If the process is interrupted
(e.g. due to a power outage), it must be completed the next time the
machine is switched on. The machine will not be able to brew coffee again
until the process is completed.
When the “Descale” symbol
appears on the display,
the machine needs to be
descaled.
Descale the machine within the next few days. Do not wait any longer, otherwise
so much limescale may build up that a descaling agent will no longer have any
effect.
The descaling process takes approx. 15 minutes.
1. Switch the machine on with the
On/Off button as necessary.
2. Pull the water tank up and out
of the machine.
CAUTION
— damage to the machine due to limescale deposits
Descale the machine as soon as the machine indicates that
•
this is necessary
. 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.
3. Pour a conventional liquid
descaling agent suitable for
coffee and espresso machines
into the empty water tank.
Add additional water up to the
MAX mark. Please observe the
manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Place an empty container (with
a capacity of at least 500 ml)
under the coffee spout. Remove
the drip tray if necessary.
You will need to empty container
underneath several times during
the descaling process.
5. Press the On/Off button to switch
on the machine.
6. Wait until the machine heats
up and all buttons light up
continuously.
7. Press and hold both the On/Off
button and the espresso button
(for approx. 5 seconds) until
2 beeps sound.
8. Release the buttons.
