on the set water hardness (For the setting of the
water hardness, see the "Machine Settings"
paragraph).
If the LED (25) lights up steadily, it means
that a descaling cycle is necessary, so as not
to alter the taste of the coffee and damage the
machine. However, coffee and further drinks
may continue to be dispensed for a limited
number of cycles.
If the LED (25)
descaling cycle is mandatory to proceed with
further dispensing of drinks.

follows:

1,4 l under the dispenser (11).

white illuminated keys is selected.
