For a long period of non-use
If you do not use the machine for a prolonged period of time, e.g. when you go
on holiday, we recommend for reasons of hygiene that you clean the machine as
described in the “Cleaning” chapter and empty all the water out of the machine’s
pipes. Proceed as follows:
1. Place an empty container
(with a capacity of at least
250 ml) underneath the coffee
spout. Remove the drip tray
if necessary.
2. Press the On/Off button to switch
on the machine.
3. Wait until the machine heats
up and all buttons light up
continuously.
4. Press and hold both the On/Off
button and the caffè crema
button (for approx. 5 seconds)
until 2 beeps sound.
5. Release the buttons.
The “Empty system”
symbol flashes.
6. Remove the water tank from
the machine.
The “Empty system”
symbol now lights
up permanently.
The pump transports the remaining water out of the pipes of the machine.
It stops automatically as soon as there is no more water inside. The residual
water runs into the container below the spout.
Afterwards, the machine will automatically switch to standby mode.
When you wish to use the machine again at a later time, proceed as described
in the chapter titled “Initial operation – prior to first use”.
About half of the water in the tank is rinsed through the machine.
The machine will pause for approx. 1 minute.
The second half of the water
in the tank is then rinsed through the machine.
Afterwards, the machine will
automatically switch to standby mode.
The descaling process is complete.
