3.4 Descaling
To guarantee uniform temperature and dosage, it is necessary to descale the dispenser at regular
intervals depending on the hardness of the water.
Please proceed as follows:
Ø Close the shut-off valve and drain about 0.5 litre of water through the hose at the back of the
machine by removing the red and white plug. Now replace the plug, disconnect the appliance from
the wall outlet, remove the back panel (this is secured by two screws at the bottom).
Ø Remove the screws from the boiler cover. Add a decalcifier, open the shut-off valve, insert the plug
into the socket and switch on the dispenser. Place a cup in position and press the “Clean” button 2
or 3 times so that the decalcifier and the water become mixed.
Ø The appliance should remain in operation for about 30 min. without any water being drained. After
this time has elapsed, press the “Clean” button 10 to 15 times. Close the shut-off valve and switch
off the dispenser.
Ø Now drain the water through the hose on the rear of the dispenser by removing the red plug. As
soon as all the water has been drained, close the hose, open the shut-off valve and switch on the
dispenser once again.
Ø When the dispenser is ready for operation, press the Clean button 20 times to flush through the
boiler. When flushing is complete, replace the boiler cover and the rear panel. The dispenser is
now ready for operation once again.
Note:
If the appliance is not to be used for longer periods and during holidays, drain the water and empty the
product container. When preparing the appliance for use, the “Clean” button should be operated about
20 times before a beverage is brewed.
