13.6 Running the Descaling Program

The descaling program allows you to
simply and effectively descale your
coffee machine. The coffee machine
should be regularly descaled, every 4-6
months, but no later than when the
"Descale" key (Fig. 3, e)
flashes.
1 Note! Formic-acid-based lime scale
solvents must not be used. Use only
AEG descaling tablets. AEG cannot
accept any liability for any damage
caused by the use of other descalants.
Do not, under any circumstances, use
vinegar, citric acid, amidosulphuric
acid or descalants containing ami-
dosulphuric acid, as these can damage
the coffee machine. The use of powder
for
products is not recommended. Descal-
ing tablets can be obtained from your
dealer (E-No. 900 195 537/7) or from
an AEG Customer Service Centre.
The descaling process runs over
two phases, lasting a total of
45 minutes, and must not be inter-
rupted.
Phase 1: descaling phase with 12
cycles, and Phase 2: flushing phase.
Between the two phases, the coffee
grounds container must be emptied
and the water tank refilled with
water. In the event of a power failure
or interruption, the program must be
restarted!
Phase 1: Descaling
0 Before starting the descaling program,
clean the coffee-making unit (refer to
„Cleaning the Coffee-making Unit"
Page 39) and empty the coffee grounds
container.
0 Pour about 400 ml warm water into
the water tank to just below the lips of
the tank lid, and place a bag (2 descal-
ing tablets) in the water tank (Fig. 41).
0 Put the water tank back in place when
the tablets have dissolved. This takes
approximately 5-7 minutes.
