Descaling

Descaling is necessary to remove limescalefrom all surfaces and holes, thus ensuring aperfect operation of valves, heating controlsand other important parts.

Note: due to the complexity of the coffeemachine hydraulic circuit, the followingdescaling cycles (automatic and standard)do not allow the descaling of all tubes.In fact, easily accessible compo-nents such as the central unit (22)and its plastic connection are ex-cluded.

The machine must be descaled every 3-4 months,according to the water hardness degree. Amore frequent descaling is recommended wher-ever the water hardness degree is very high.

This machine is supplied with a particularwarning light

"DESCALING ""READY FOR USE "

Descaling must be carried out at the latest whenthis message is displayed. In spite of the message,the machine does not stop working. To switch offthe display, press the steam key for approx. 5seconds until the message disappears.Furthermore, said display warning may beadjusted according to the water hardness de-gree. The machine has been adjusted at thefactory to 25º fH value, which causes thedisplay to switch on showing the messageDESCALING after approx 150 l.The water hardness value may be changed, ifnecessary, following the instructions shown onpage 16.

The following adjustments are possible:Hardness 4: high water hardness, over 29ºfH (14° dH), approx. 80 l water passage.

Automatic temperatureadjustment

This adjustment controls the correct temperaturefor coffee, water, and steam. Coffee brewing isautomatically interrupted should the water tem-perature be too high (safety thermostat andoverheating safety device activated).

Antigravel device

Even selected coffees may contain some impu-rities. The coffee grinder is fitted with an antigraveldevice to avoid any damage. Should gravelend up into the coffee grinder, you will hear astrong and characteristic noise. Stop the ma-chine immediately otherwise the protection sys-tem will stop the coffee grinder after approx. 20seconds.

Switch off the machine. Pour a descaling prod-uct into the water tank (according to the instruc-tions on the package). Place a large containerunder the steam/hot water dispensing tube (7)and open the steam/hot water knob (9) slowly,turning it counterclockwise. Turn on the machineby pressing the main switch and let the descalingproduct flow out of the dispensing tube forapprox. 1 min.

Hardness 3: medium water hardness, approx.20º-29º fH (7°-14° dH), approx. 150 l waterpassageHardness 2: soft water, approx. 12º-20º fH(4°-7° dH), approx. 300 l water passageHardness 1: less than 10º fH (3° dH),approx. 500 l water passage

In case of hard water, a filter should be usedboth to improve the coffee quality and to protectthe machine, thus reducing the descaling fre-quency.

Note: for this purpose, use a descaling pro-duct suitable for coffee machines. Never usevinegar to clean the machine; it mightdamage it.

There are two ways to carry out the descalingof the machine:

Automatic descaling
