Descaling
Before performing the descaling
cycle, remove possible softener
lters inside the tank.
The coffee machine signals when it is
necessary to carry out a descaling cycle based
on the set water hardness (For the setting of
the water hardness, see the “Setting the water
hardness” paragraph).
If the LED (31) lights up steadily, it means that
a descaling cycle is necessary, so as not to
alter the taste of the coffee and damage the
machine. However, coffee and further drinks
may continue to be dispensed for a limited
number of cycles.
If the LED (31) ashes, it means that a descaling
cycle is mandatory to proceed with further
dispensing of drinks.
To carry out a descaling cycle, proceed as
follows:
•
Place a container with a capacity of at least
1.4l under the dispenser (11) and the steam
spout (18).
• Make sure that the
White
program with
white illuminated keys is selected.
• Fill the tank (5), up to the “MAX” level, with a
solution of water and descaler in the doses
recommended by the manufacturer
.
• With the machine ready for use, press the
keys (26) and (24) simultaneously for at
least 3 seconds. The key (24) ashes with
an orange light and the LED (31) has a xed
light for the entire duration of the descaling
cycle.
• Stay near the machine for the entire duration
of the descaling cycle since you may be
required, for example, to ll the tank (5). The
entire cycle lasts approximately 30 minutes.
• During the descaling cycle, the machine will
take a few breaks to allow the descaler to
act effectively. Wait for the end of the cycle.
• The descaling cycle ends when there is no
more solution in the tank (5), the key (24)
turns white and the LEDS (27) and (31)
remain lit.
• Pour clean water into the tank (5) up to the
“MAX” level to carry out the rinse cycle,
then press the button (24) to start the rinse
cycle, the button (27) ashes and the LED
(31) lights up steadily for the entire duration
of the washing cycle.
• The rinse cycle ends when the keys light up
white.
If at the end of descaling the key
(26) blinks in white and the led (31)
lights up steady, that means that it
is necessary to carry out a new
descaling cycle since the quantity
of descaling solution that has been
used was insufcient for a complete
cleaning.
Personal injury hazard.
• The descaler contains acids that
can irritate the skin and eyes.
• Follow the manufacturer's
instructions and safety warnings
on the packet scrupulously in
the event of contact with skin or
eyes.
• Use descaler products
recommended by Smeg to
prevent damage to the coffee
machine.
Any other servicing should be
performed by an authorized
service representative.
