Descale your appliance regularly, as indicated in sections A and B for the coffee and steam
functions, as this will help prolong its lifespan. The frequency of descaling depends on the
hardness of your water. Consult your water supply authority for more information.
While descaling, do not place your appliance on a marble worktop. The descaling agent
could damage it.
To help you, here is a table of reference for the frequency of descaling according to water
hardness and how often your machine is used:
DESCALING FREQUENCY
Average no. of coffees per
week
Soft water
(<19°th)
Hard water
(19-30°th)
Very hard water
(>30°th)
Less than 7 Once per year Every 8 months Every 6 months
7 - 20 Every 4 months Every 3 months Every 2 months
More than 20 Every 3 months Every 2 months Every month
If in doubt, descaling once per month is advised.
The coffee maker will not be repaired if:
descaling is not carried out,
there are scale deposits,
the accessories have been washed in a dishwasher,
as this is not covered under the guarantee.
A. Descaling the coffee system
Unplug the appliance.
Insert the lter holder (without coffee) into the appliance and turn it to the right until it
stops.
Place a receptacle with a volume greater than ½ litre under the lter holder.
Check that the thumb wheel is set to position O.
Fill the tank with a mixture comprised of 3 parts water to 1 part vinegar or citric/sulphamic
acid (total volume of mixture: 500 ml)
Plug the appliance in. Turn on the appliance by pressing the On button.
Set the selection button to the espresso position. When the espresso indicator light
switches on, turn the thumb wheel to the left and allow the mixture to ow through (¼ of
the volume).
Stop the appliance by pressing the On/Off button and leaving the selection button set to
Espresso.
DESCALING
2. The filter holder
Using a damp cloth, regularly clean the lter holder housing in order to remove any
residual coffee that may have collected in this area.
Do not remove the seal. Do not remove the screws from the filter and filter holder.
This may only be carried out by an approved servicing centre.
To prolong the life of the ltering head seal, do not ret the lter holder if the coffee
machine will not be used for an extended period of time.
3. The drip tray
If necessary, clean the drip tray (I) and its grill (H) using water and a little mild detergent
(44-45). Rinse and dry.
