ter, it is possible to carry out the machine descaling operation in order to eliminate the malfunction.
For this purpose use only the citric acid-based descaling product NOCAL by Ariete. This product
can be easily found in the Ariete technical assistance service centres. Ariete is not liable for dam-
age to internal components of the coffee machine caused by the use of non-compliant products
due to the presence of chemical additives. If a descaling is required, observe the directions on the
instruction sheet of the descaling product.
SETTING THE MACHINE OUT OF SERVICE
If it is required to set the machine out of service, disconnect it electrically, empty the water tank and
the drip tray and clean it (see the "Appliance cleaning" chapter).
In case of scrapping it is necessary to provide for the separation of the various materials used in the
construction of the machine and dispose of them according to their composition and the provisions
of law in force in the country of use.
