Descaling
This appliance is equipped with an auto­
matic descaling indicator. If calc indica­
tor lights up, the machine needs to be
descaled.

the coffee machine.

to the manufacturer's instructions and
pour it into the water tank 1.

button 7 O.
■ Press and hold down the button descale
11 calc for at least 2 seconds. The des­
caling process starts.
■ The program interrupts the process
several times for a few minutes in order
to let the descaling agent penetrate the
deposits. The entire descaling process
takes about 30 minutes. When the
program is running, the display calc will
blink.
■ When the descaling process is complete,
the display calc will no longer light up.
Operate the machine twice using clean
