Water tank

tank 6 with a little mild detergent ap-
prox. every 2 weeks.
2. Afterwards, rinse it thoroughly with
clear tap water.
3. Dry the water tank 6 from the outside
before inserting it.
NOTE: some water accumulates in the re-
cess under the water tank 6. Remove this
regularly with a dry, clean cloth.

16. Descaling

Like any hot water appliance, this espresso
machine must be descaled regularly. Lime
deposits form inside the device and on small
openings (e.g. on the steam nozzle 10).
This impairs the functionality and damages
the device in the long run.
This machine automatically determines
when it is time to descale. When this time is
reached, all LED rings 17, 18, 19 are per-
manently lit. You will not be able to continue
working with the device. It needs to be des-
caled first.
NOTES:
• You can adjust the water hardness set-
ting to suit your tap water so that the
prompt for descaling comes at the right
time (see "Water hardness" on
page 78).
• You can also start the descaling pro-
gramme separately at any time.
• During each process (descaling and
rinsing), a large quantity of descaling
solution or water is rhythmically
pumped through the device for approx.
5 minutes.
