DECALCIFYING THE ESPRESSO SIDE

The warranty does not cover a faulty or broken espresso
machine due to not being descaled.
Due to the acidity of the cleaning solution, we recommend
protecting your worktop and sink during the descaling process,
especially if it is made of marble or stone. Isolate your appliance
with an old towel, tablecloth or tray.
The espresso machine must be decalcified regularly. The
frequency depends on the hardness of your water and how often
you use the espresso machine.
Before descaling, the brewing sieve on the brewing head must
first be screwed off.
1. Remove all lime and coffee residues from the brewing sieve
and the brewing head.
2. Remove the plastic housing of the cappuccino nozzle (g).
As a descaling agent we recommend the use of Krups descaling
solution F054 available at authorized Krups retailers and Service
Centres or by contacting your respective countries Customer
Service Department.
3. Dissolve a packet of KRUPS descaling solution in 10 oz/300
ml of lukewarm water and pour into the boiler container and
screw back the cap. Put a container under the brewing head
and another under the steam nozzle.
(Note: Do not secure the filter holder (c) during decalcification).
4. Open the steam valve and turn on the appliance. Allow the
descaling solution to run out of the espresso outlet and the
steam nozzle.
5. After each brewing cycle, switch off the appliance and allow
the appliance to cool down.
6. Repeat this operation once more.
Following this, allow 2 containers of clear water to run through
the system. Switch off the appliance. Allow the appliance to cool
down. Insert the brewing sieve into the brewing head again and
push the plastic housing of the cappuccino nozzle onto the
steam nozzle.
