DESCAL ING Y OU R M A C H I N E
s
Hard water can lead to limestone deposits in and on many of the working parts
of the machine if it is used regularly. This reduces brewing flow and power of the
machine and impairs the quality of the coffee. We therefore recommend regularly
(depending on water hardness, at least once every one to two months) descaling
the machine with a mixture of water and SOLIPOL
Please follow the descaling instructions.
NOTE: We recommend using exclusively SOLIPOL
refuse to take any responsibility for damages caused by the use of other descaling
agents.
CAUTION: Should the descaling agent – even in a diluted form – splash or drip onto
the appliance, please wipe it off immediately to prevent damage to the surface of
the appliance.
Please descale as follows:
1. Check if the selection knob is set to the center standby position, the machine
is switched off with the POWER button (no light illuminating) and the power
plug is pulled.
2. Remove the portafilter. Fill the water tank with the mixture of SOLIPOL
liquid descaling agent and water (SOLIPOL
ratio).
3. Plug the power plug into the power outlet.
4. Press the POWER button so that the button surround
flashes.
5. Place a large container under the brewing head and
the steam wand.
6. As soon as both button surrounds light up constantly,
turn the selection knob to the „Espresso" position
and let half of the descaling solution run through the
brewing group.
7. Empty the container and place it back under the brewing head. Make sure that
the steam wand is pointing into the container. Turn the selection knob to the
„Steam" position and let the remaining descaling solution escape through
the steam wand. Once no steam is passing out anymore, return the selection
knob to the center, to the standby position.
8. When the descaling solution is almost used up, remove the water container and
carefully rinse it with fresh water to remove all descaling agent residues. Refill
it with fresh tap water.
9. To rinse the machine as well and to remove all descaling agent residues, please
repeat steps 3 to 7 until only a little water remains in the water tank. Pour this
last bit of water away and refill the tank with fresh tap water. Your appliance is
now ready for use again.

NOTE: Please wipe off potential splashes of descaling solution on the outer housing
of the machine immediately, as the substance could damage the surface.
ATTENTION: Never submerge the power cord, plug or the machine in water
or any other liquid. While descaling the machine, never remove the water
tank or allow the tank to run completely empty.
