Descaling
The appliance has to be descaled regularly, otherwise the coffee taste will become bad and the sca-
le deposited inside in the machine may cause permanent and irreparable damage to the machine.
The frequency depends on the water hardness and the brewing frequency. Generally, the descaling
should be done in the following periodicity:
- With soft water, at least once every 2 months.
- With hard water, at least once every month.
In case of doubting to the water hardness, ask advice of your local tap water company. Alternatively
it is advisable to descale the appliance after 200 cups of coffee have been made.
If you begin to notice an increase in the brewing time, or there is excessive steaming, or a build-up of
white deposits on the surface of the boiler outlet, you have to descale. We recommend purchasing
a specific descalant for descaling espresso machines.
It is recommended to use only specific liquid descaler suitable for espresso machine, and read ca-
refully the instructions on its package or user manual before use.
NOTE:
1)In case of using solid descaler, make sure the descaler dissolves into cold water fully before pou-
ring into the water tank.
2)Never use a descaler based on mineral acids such as sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulphamic
acid and acetic acid(e.g. vinegar).These descalers may damage your machine.
1.Mix adequate descaler with cold water in a measuring jug as per its instructions. Fill the water
tank up to the Max level with the prepared descaling solution.Then put the water tank back into the
machine.
2.Make sure the filter holder is not attached and put a bowl with a capacity of at least 1500ml under
the boiler outlet to collect the descaling solution.
3.Press down the On/Off button and wait until the ready light glows.
4.Press down the coffee/hot water button and allow half the solution to flow out, seriatim release the
coffee/hot water button and the On/Off button to the off position to stop the flow.
5.Leave the machine to rest for 15 minutes, then seriatim press down the On/Off button and the
coffee/hot water button until the water tank is empty.
6.Thoroughly rinse the tank.
7.Fill the water tank with cold fresh water up to the Max level again and repeat steps 2 to 5 without
rest to rinse the appliance for twice.
NOTE: Always rinse the machine by letting it empty at least two full water tanks.
8.Seriatim release the coffee/hot water button and the On/Off button to off position.
Important:
1)Never interrupt the descaling process.
2)Repairs caused by malfunctioning due to scale deposited inside the appliance are not covered by
the guarantee if the descaling process is not carried out properly.
