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. 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 the below suggested descaling
methods 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 methods 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.
You can use whichever of the following descaling 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 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.
Note: The guarantee excludes coffee makers that are not
working or are not working properly due to lack of descaling.
