DESCALE
HARD WATER WILL CAUSE LIMESCALE BUILD-UP, RESULTING
IN BLOCKAGES THAT CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE. PRODUCT
FAILURE DUE TO THE BUILD-UP OF LIMESCALE IS NOT COVERED BY
GUARANTEE.
Dualit recommends cleaning and descaling regularly, in a well-ventilated area
and using a Water Softener to prevent limescale build-up in the machine.
For further guidance, including the frequency with which you should descale,
see page 13. Please note: Always clean your machine first before beginning the
descaling process. See page 14 for instructions. The descale process takes
approximately 30 minutes.
Caution: Avoid contact with descaling solution. Steam released during descale process
may be harmful. Risk of scalding and injury.

SHOP DESCALER
Ensure your descaling product is suitable for coffee
machines; scan the QR code to purchase Dualit's
recommended descaler. Follow the descaling product
instructions carefully. If you are using a water softener,
ensure water softener is removed before adding
descaler. Risk of chemical inhalation.
5C
Ensure no capsule is in the
machine. Lift and close Lever
twice to empty any remaining
water from the Brewhead
Chamber. Make up the correct
ratio of water to descaling
solution according to the
product instructions. Unplug
the machine, remove the
Water Tank and fill with the
descaling solution to Max Mark.
5F
Ensure the Lever is closed fully
with no capsule inserted, then
press the Espresso Button.
Your machine will begin to
dispense the descaling solution.
If required, press the Espresso
Button again to pause descaling
to empty the container if
full. Press again to continue
dispensing.
5D
Remove Drip Tray. You may
wish to put folded paper towel
in place of the Drip Tray to
absorb any water drips. Place
a large container under the
Nozzle.
5G
Just before the Water Tank
empties, press the Espresso
Button and wait 10 minutes for
the descaling solution to take
effect. Remove and rinse the
Water Tank. Fill to Max Mark
with fresh water and replace.
Press the Espresso Button.
Flush at least two full tanks of
water through the machine
to remove any traces of the
descaling solution.

The Espresso and Lungo
Buttons will flash three times
per second immediately
after switching on, to indicate

Note: Descale can be
completed at any time with or
without the automatic descale
indicator.
5E
Insert Water Tank, plug in and
press either Button to switch
on. Press both Buttons firmly at
the same time and hold for 5
seconds. Both Buttons will then
flash quickly. The machine is
now ready to descale.

To exit Descale mode, press
both Buttons together and
hold for 5 seconds. Buttons
will return to solid illumination.
Note: if the machine is
turned off in Descale mode,
it will stay in this mode when

using a water softener, ensure
that it is placed back into the
Water Tank once the descaling
process is complete.
