DESCALING THE SEMI-AUTOMATIC ESPRESSO MACHINE
The descaling program enables simple and effective descaling of your Semi-Automatic
Espresso Machine. Descale the Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine regularly, but a minimum
whenever the Clean Cycle Button (
) light is blinking. The frequency of descaling depends on
the hardness of the water in your region.
NOTE: The descaling process runs in 2 phases, takes approximately 2 minutes for each phase
and must be completed before next use. At any time during the descaling program you can
pause the cycle by pressing the Brew Start/Stop Button (
). And, resume too by pressing it
again.
IMPORTANT: Only use descaling solutions intended for Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines.
