Hardness 3: medium water hardness, approx.
20º-29º fH (7°-14° dH), approx. 150 l water
passage
Hardness 2: soft water, approx. 12º-20º fH
(4°-7° dH), approx. 300 l water passage
Hardness 1: less than 10º fH (3° dH),
approx. 500 l water passage
In case of hard water, a filter should be used
both to improve the coffee quality and to protect
the machine, thus reducing the descaling fre-
quency.
Note: for this purpose, use a descaling pro-
duct suitable for coffee machines. Never use
vinegar to clean the machine; it might
damage it.
There are two ways to carry out the descaling
of the machine:
Automatic descaling
Switch the machine onto the programming
mode (see page 15).
Move the asterisk at the end of the line to the
menu item DESCALING. To activate this menu
item press ENT.
The display shows:
"DESCALING
Pour a descaling solution into the water tank
(according to the instructions on the package).
Place a large container under the steam/hot
water dispensing tube and open the steam/hot
water knob slowly. The automatic descaling
starts. Small quantities of descaling solution are
pumped into the circuit. Then the pump stops to
let the solution take effect.
The display shows:
"MASCHINE IS
"DESCALING
This operation takes about 45 minutes. As soon
DESCALING
as descaling is completed, the display shows:
"
DESCALING
"
FINISHED
and the pump stops.
Close the hot water knob and press ENT. A
display message reminds you to rinse away
residue from the machine
"RINSE MASCHINE
Remove the water tank, rinse it and fill it with
water. Clean the machine using the hot water
knob and let the whole tank content flow out.
The display shows:
"RINSING
"FINISHED
Close the hot water knob again and press ENT.
The machine is in the main menu of the program-
ming mode. Move the asterisk at the end of the
line to <ESC> using the key. Press ENT. The
machine is now in the normal mode. After
heating, the machine is ready to work.
Note
Descaling can be interrupted any time by press-
"
ing ESC. Before doing this, close the hot water
knob.
Standard descaling
Switch off the machine. Pour a descaling prod-
uct into the water tank (according to the instruc-
tions on the package). Place a large container
under the steam/hot water dispensing tube (7)
and open the steam/hot water knob (9) slowly,
turning it counterclockwise. Turn on the machine
"
by pressing the main switch and let the descaling
"
product flow out of the dispensing tube for
approx. 1 min.
26
Turn off the machine with the main switch and
let the solution take effect for approx. 5 minutes.
"
Repeat this procedure two or three times, to
allow all the descaling product in the water tank
"
to flow out of the dispensing tube.
As soon as decalcification has been carried
out, rinse the water tank (11) thoroughly and fill
it with water.
Switch on the machine again and let water
(approx. 2 l) flow out of the steam/hot water
dispensing tube in order to rinse away residue.
The coffee machine is now ready for operation.

Important
A periodic descaling avoids expensive repairs.
The machine warranty does not cover damages
occurring as a result of the non-observance of
descaling procedures, improper use and any
"
other instructions contained herein. Maintain
"
the manufacturer's adjustment if the water hard-
ness degree is not known.
Storage of the machine
Switch off and unplug the machine if it will not
be used for long periods of time.
Keep the machine in a dry place, far from the
reach of children.
Should the machine not be used for a long
period, keep it from dust and dirty.
Maintenance
