1. Descaling. We recommend to
decalcify the machine regularly
depending on the water hardness
(2–3 months). We recommend to
use Electrolux decalcifying solution
EPD4/C/D/E/N/R (never use vinegar).
Remove and empty the water container
(E). Fill the water container with the
descaling solution (follow product
instructions).

2. When the waste water level indicator
(I) is visible above the grid, the drip
tray (H) must be emptied. Lift out the
grid, tray and used capsules container.
Empty, rinse, dry and put back in place.
This procedure should be carried out
every two or three days or after 10
brewed coffees.
The drip tray grid (G), drip tray (H)
and the used capsules container (J) are
all dishwasher proof.

2. Press the ON/OFF button (A). When
the Espresso button light (B) remains
steady, place a bowl under the coffee
spout. Press and hold the Espresso
button (B) for 5 seconds to start the
descaling mode. The cup indicator
light (B) will flash at 1 second off and
1 second on. The cup indicator light
will then flash slowly during the
descaling process which takes
about 20 min.
Pull the spout fully down and remove
it by pulling it towards you.
Clean and put back in place.
3. After descaling is finished, the cup
indicator light keeps ON to be ready
for coffee preparation. Before brewing
coffee, clean out the water container
and refill it with fresh water; run through
½ container with fresh water to flush out
the system by pressing the Espresso
button once to start and once again
to stop.
