Descaling - BRAVILOR BONAMAT Mondo Series Operating Instructions Manual

1.8 Descaling

In hard water areas chalk and limescale
will accumulate when the machine is
used. The machine is fitted with a descale
indicator that is activated if scale deposits
exceed a certain level. If this descale
indicator is activated (the signalling lamp
in the red triangle (9) starts to flash), the
scale must be removed from the
machine. Correct operations can
otherwise not be guaranteed. When the
red light starts to flash, it is still possible
to brew coffee a couple more times. The
operator can then await until a suitable
time to descale the machine.
The descaling procedure is as follows:
1. First read the instructions and
recommendations on the sachet of
the descaling agent. We recommend
using our tried and tested Renegite
descaling agent.
2. Dissolve 100 g Renegite in 1 litre of
hot water.
3. Slide the empty filter pan (5) into the
machine and place an empty
decanter beneath it.
4. Carefully pour the Renegite solution
in the cold water reservoir (8). The lid
of the reservoir must be open during
descaling activities!
5. Switch the machine on using switch
(1). The solution will drip into the
decanter.
6. After 1 minute switch the machine off
using switch (1).
7. Wait for 2 minutes. The Renegite
solution is now given time to perform
its task.
8. After waiting for 2 minutes the
machine must be switched on again
to enable the rest of the Renegite
solution to run through.
9. When Renegite solution is no longer
dripping out of the filter pan, the
Renegite solution in the decanter can
be flushed away.
10. Subsequently, the machine must be
rinsed with fresh water by running the
normal coffee making process twice
without using any coffee. Do not
forget to empty the decanter between
each rinse.
The machine is again ready for making
coffee.
PRECAUTIONS
• Remain in the vicinity of the machine
during all descaling activities.
• Wear gloves and face protection
during all descaling activities.
