10 DESCALING THE MACHINE
When the message "DESCALING" appears on the display
with the machine off, it is time to descale your machine using
specifi c products that are appropriate for coffee machines.
Attention – Very Important!
Do not use lemon-based products for descaling. These pro-
ducts contain citric acid, which in contact with calcium at high
temperatures forms a chemical reaction, creating calcium ci-
trate that could lead to the total obstruction of the water cir-
cuits.
Proceed as follows:
Open the drawer and remove the water from the tray and any cof-
fee grounds from the container. Re-close the drawer without repla-
cing the grille, and position the steam nozzle so that the water that
comes out of it falls into the tray.
• Switch on the machine and wait till the words WATER and STEAM

sing the key until the displays shows "PROGRAM-
MING".
