4.4 Descaling
The coffee machine needs descaling when the
orange LED on the key (steam) flashes.
The warning will be displayed every time
the machine exits the stand-by status, until the
descaling procedure is performed.
Proceed as follows to run the descaling cycle:
• Empty the water tank (11) completely and
remove the water softening filter (if present).
• Fill the water tank (11) up to MAX with a
solution of water and descaler following the
doses recommended by the manufacturer.
• Remove the filter holder (3) and position a
container under the dispenser (2) and the
steam wand (7).
• Turn the machine on by pressing the ON/
OFF button.
• As soon as the machine is ready, hold the
key (22) down for 10 seconds until the
orange LED has a fixed light.
• Turn the steam knob (8) anti-clockwise.
• Press the key (22) to start descaling, the key
(22) starts to flash.
• The descaling cycle automatically performs
a series of rinse cycles at intervals to remove
lime scale from the inside of the coffee
machine, continuing until the tank (11) is
empty.
• The descaling cycle stops and the white
LED (22) switches on.
• Remove the water tank (11), empty it and
rinse it out.
• Fill the tank (11) with water to the maximum
level mark and insert it into its housing.

wand (7), an empty container under the
dispensing unit (2) and check that the steam
knob (8) is horizontal.
• Press the steam key (22) again to start the
rinse cycle.
• When the tank (11) is empty, it means that
the rinse cycle has ended and the machine
goes back to ready status.
• Turn the steam knob (8) clockwise.
