DESCALING
A message is shown on the Display when the machine has to be descaled. The descaling
program can also be started manually at any time. Beverages can still be drawn, but it is
recommended to complete the cleaning program as soon as possible.
Descaling agents are known to stain the steel parts of the machine. Ensure that you have a
large container under the Brew Unit to avoid splashing and spills. If stain occurs, make sure to
use an oxalic acid or citric acid product to remove properly. When applying cleaner, rub with
the grain and rinse properly after cleaning. For a nice shine, add stainless cleaner after
cleaning.
1.
Select and confirm the instruction or press the " " icon and select the "Descaling" by
pressing the " " icon.
2.
Place a sufficiently large container (≥ 0.5 L) under the Dispenser. Follow the instructions
on the Display up to the end of the program.
3.
The machine then heats up and is ready for operation again.
IMPORTANT: The running descaling program must not be interrupted. Do not use vinegar or
vinegar-based materials for descaling, but use products recommended for fully automatic
coffee machines. The filter (if present) must be removed from the Water Tank prior to the start
of the descaling program.
During descaling, please follow exactly the sequence of the displays:
� First pour in the corresponding amount of water up to the 0.5 L mark and then add the
descaler.
� Do not in reverse order. Observe the instructions of the descaler manufacturer.
