Descaling
If the indicator light is yellow,
the machine needs to be descaled.
Do this within the next couple of
days. Do not wait any longer, other-
wise so much limescale may build
up that a descaling agent will no
longer have any effect. Descaling
takes approx. 30 minutes.
Tip: We recommend durgol
®
swiss espresso
®
, which is available from any
Tchibo branch and from specialist retailers.
To descale the machine, proceed as follows:
1. Switch the machine off:
To do so, briefly press
the espresso button and
the caffè crema button
at the same time.
CAUTION — damage to the machine due to limescale deposits
Descale the machine as soon as it indicates that this is necessary. •
This increases its service life and saves energy.
Do not use any descaling agents made on the basis of formic acid.•
Use a standard liquid descaling agent suitable for coffee and espresso•
machines. Other agents may damage materials in the machine and/or
have no effect.
2. Pour in the descaling agent:
Take the water container out of
the machine and pour one portion
(125 ml) of durgol
®
swiss espresso
®
into the empty water container.
IMPORTANT: Pour in cold tap
water up to the MAX mark
and reinsert the container.
If you are using a different descaling agent, read the manufacturer’s
instructions. IMPORTANT: Pour in the descaling solution up to the
MAX mark and reinsert the container into the machine.
3. Insert the milk container all
the way into the connection
point on the machine.
4. Fold down the lever and
remove the drip tray if
necessary.
5. Place a container with a
capacity of at least 600ml
under the coffee and milk
spout.
You will need to empty the
container underneath several
times during the descaling
process.
