LIME SCALE
When you heat tap water, calcium and other mineral deposits attach themselves to
the inside of your coffee maker, kettle, iron, washing machine etc.
Excessive lime scale build up will damage your Espresso Coffee Machine. The frothing
tube is particularly vulnerable to lime scale blockage and should be cleaned regularly.
We recommend using pre-filtered or bottled water. If you cannot do this and use
water straight from the tap then it will be necessary to de-scale the product regularly.
There are plenty of good, inexpensive lime scale remedies available - including from
Swan website.
HOW TO DE-SCALE
With the milk reservoir placed in position, the appliance will remind the user to
perform de-scaling. Six indicators quickly flashing alternately. At that time, the
user shall fill the water tank with 600ml clean water and dedicated de-scale liquid
solution.
Press Espresso and Latte buttons simultaneously and then the appliance enters
into de-scaling mode automatically, then the six indicators slowly flash alternately,
after working for about half an hour, the six indicators quickly flash alternately.
Once that happens, empty the water tank and refill it with 600ml clean water.
That done, press Espresso and Latte buttons simultaneously again and the
appliance continues to perform de-scaling, at that time, the six indicators slowly
flash alternately, after working for about half a hour, the appliance stops working
and goes back to the standby condition.
NOTE:
You can press any functional buttons to cancel the de-scale warning and use as
normal. However, we don't recommend it. The appliance will continue to remind
you to perform de-scaling after each use.
The de-scale warning will only stop once a complete de-scale cycle has completed.
The default de-scale programme will trigger after 500 cycles but we recommend:
Hard water de-scale after 40 cycles. Soft water after 80 cycles
Unplug from the mains and allow coffee maker cool down completely before
