8.5 Running the descaling programme
The descaling programme is used to remove limescale deposits in the inte-
rior of the appliance with fully automatic coee maker descaling agents.
To avoid damage to the appliance, we recommend running the "Descaling"
programme every 3 months or as requested by the appliance.
The descaling programme takes approximately 25 minutes and should not
be interrupted.
CAUTION
Contact with fully automatic coee maker descaling agent may lead to
eye and skin irritation.
Observe the processing instructions on the packaging of the fully auto-
matic coee maker descaling agent.
CAUTION
Hot water and hot steam owing out of the pipe
Do not touch the steam pipe during and immediately after use.
Wait until the steam pipe has cooled down.
ATTENTION
Use of unsuitable descaling agent may damage the appliance.
Only use the Melitta® ANTI CALC Espresso Machines liquid descaling
agent.
ATTENTION
A water lter may be damaged if it is screwed in during the descaling
programme.
Remove the water lter.
Place the water lter into a vessel lled with tap water during the descal-
ing programme.
The water lter can be reinserted and reused on completion of the des-
caling programme.
