Descaling

Limescale builds up in the coffee

descaled regularly. How often, will
depend on the hardness of the local
water supply.
The coffee machine will remind you
when the descaling programme needs
to be carried out. NO. PORTIONS

the display. The remaining number of
drinks that can be made before
descaling will now appear in the
display after each drink is made.

OK button.
When 0 is reached, the coffee machine
will lock out. START THE DESCALING
PROGRAMME will appear in the
display.
Descaling must now be carried out.
The programme takes approx.
20 minutes.
You can switch the coffee machine off if
you do not want to run the descaling
programme at this time. However, you
will not be able to make any more
drinks until the descaling programme
has been carried out.
The machine will guide you through the
whole procedure. Various instructions
will appear in the display, e.g. you will
be prompted to empty the drip tray, fill
the water container, etc.
During the descaling programme, water
containing descaling agent will run out
of the steam and hot water spout. This
is followed by an activation period
before a little more descaling agent is
dispensed.
