Descaling the appliance
CAUTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE!
► Do not generate steam when the descaler solution is in the water tank !
Descale the appliance regularly. The appliance should be descaled after about
1–2 months (if used to make approx. 4 espressos per day). This value can vary
depending on the hardness of the water in your region.
Proceed as follows to use the descaler supplied with the appliance:
1) Add the descaler (125 ml) to the water tank .
2) Fill the water tank up to the Max mark with water and replace the tank
in the appliance.
3) Switch on the appliance using the On/Off switch
. Make sure the
steam control is shut off.
4) Insert the sieve holder 1 without any espresso sieve %+ into the appliance.
5) Place 2 cups or a container capable of holding at least 250 ml under the
sieve holder openings.
6) As soon as the green heating-up control lamp lights up, push in the
“Espresso” button
so that it clicks into place.
Allow around 250 ml (around 2 cups) of descaler solution to run through
and then stop the process by pressing the “Espresso” button again.
Carefully pour out the used descaler solution.
7) Allow the descaler to act for approx. 1 minute.
8) Repeat steps 6 to 7 three more times. Empty the water tank completely
the last time.
9) Place a sufficiently large container (at least 1 litre) under the sieve holder
openings.
10) Rinse out the water tank with fresh water and fill it with fresh water up to
the Max mark.
11) As soon as the green heating-up control lamp lights up, push down the
“Espresso” button
so that it clicks into place.
Allow the water to run through completely. Carefully pour out this water.
12) Repeat steps 10 to 11 once and then turn off the appliance.
13) After descaling, wipe off the appliance with a damp cloth to remove any
splashes of the descaler solution. Ensure that the appliance is completely dry
before the next use.
You can order more descaler via our customer service (see section “Ordering
replacement parts”).
We recommend using the descaler supplied with the appliance. You can
also use other commercially available descaling agents for espresso machines.
If you do so, proceed as described in the operating instructions of the respective
descaler.
