DESCALING THE APPLIANCE

For your machine to work optimally over time, you will need to remove
mineral deposits left by the water used. How often they should be removed
will depend on the quality of water supplied to your area and how often you
use your machine. You can use whichever of the following methods is most
practical for you:
A. Using a commercially available descaling product. Prepare
the descaling solution as per the instructions provided with the product.
Next, add the solution to the water tank (B) and run a brew cycle but do
not add ground coffee to the filter.
Once the equivalent of a cup has dripped into the pot, switch off the
appliance and wait 15 minutes. Switch the appliance on again and
complete the brew cycle until the descaling solution previously added to
the tank has run out. Repeat if necessary.
B. Using a white vinegar and water solution. The ratio should be 1 part
vinegar diluted in 3 parts water. Carry out a brew cycle as described
above until the yellow liquid is no longer dripping. Once the descaling
process is complete, use tap water to rinse the coffee machine several
times until the smell of vinegar or descaling product disappears.
If the build-up of limescale or mineral deposits is excessive, the appliance will
show the following symptoms:
1. The brew cycle takes too long. If there is an excessive accumulation of
mineral deposits, the drip rate becomes slower, therefore the cycle takes
longer to complete.
2. The drip function switches on and off constantly before the end of the
brew cycle.
If you notice any of the above symptoms, use the regular brew cycle to
descale the unit using suggested method A or B.
3. The "Clean" icon on the LCD screen flashes to indicate that the
appliance needs cleaning. To descale the appliance, use the suggested
method A or B and the cleaning function by holding down the "HOUR"
(L) and "MIN" (M) buttons, and then press the START/PAUSE button (O)
to start the cleaning cycle.
Think of the environment!
Your appliance contains valuable materials that can be recycled.
Leave it at a local civic waste collection point where it will be disposed of
