11 DESCALING

Scaling occurs naturally when the appliance
is used. Approximately every 3-4 months you
should descale it; it is ready for descaling
when you notice a reduction in the water fl ow
or when the LED of the button (26) fl ashes.
If you wish to carry this out at home,
you can use a descaling product for
coffee makers that is non toxic and/or not
harmful and commonly available on the
market.
Caution! Never use vinegar.
To descale the appliance proceed as fol-
lows:
• Mix the descaler with water as specifi ed on
the package and fi ll the water tank.
• Switch ON the appliance with the ON/OFF
switch (7).
• Press the button (26) for at least 5 seconds
to select the descaling operating mode; the
LED emits a fi xed light.
• Direct the steam nozzle (14) toward the drip
tray.
• Position a vessel of adequate capacity under
the steam nozzle and turn the hot water
knob anticlockwise (16). The appliance star-
ts an automatic descaling cycle with pauses
preset by the manufacturer and managed
automatically by the appliance.
• At the end of the cycle, the fl ow of the de-
scaling solution is shut off and the 5 buttons
start fl ashing simultaneously.
• Turn the knob of the hot water nozzle (16)
clockwise to OFF. In this case, also the
warning light (27) fl ashes.
• Rinse the water tank and fi ll it with fresh
drinking water.
• Position a vessel of adequate capacity
under the steam nozzle and empty 2/3 of
the contents of the water tank by turning the
steam knob (16) anticlockwise; to shut off
the fl ow, turn the knob (16) clockwise.
• Let the appliance heat up and empty the
remaining contents of the water tank by
turning the steam knob (16) anticlockwise;
to stop the fl ow, turn it clockwise.
If you use a different product from the
recommended one, we recommend you
follow the instructions of the descaler manu-
facturer as specifi ed on the package.
If the descaling cycle is interrupted by
switching the machine OFF, this is re-
started when the machine is switched back
ON.
