Descale espresso machine
Descale espresso machine

With the constant use of hard water, limescale deposit will
accumulate at an early stage. These residues must be
removed on a regular basis, as the limescale impairs the flavour of
many internal functional components, the water flow, the brewing
temperature and the performance of the espresso machine.
The hardness of the mains water can be tested with the test strip
included in the scope of supply or it can be requested from the
local water management authority.
Proceed as follows when using the test strip: Hold the test strip
under the flowing water of your rap for approx. 1 second. Then, let
test strip dry for 15 seconds. Afterwards, you can check the colour
on the test strip against the back of the test strip packet and find
out whether your water is soft, hard or very hard.
You should descale your machine at the following intervals.
- soft: no later than after approx. 6 months
- hard: no later than after approx.3 months
- very hard: monthly
After 1000 cycles, in which the machine has no been descaled, the
buttons will flash red twice with a break in between.
The machine must than be descaled. Use commercially available
descaler for this on the basis of citric acid or the descaling granules
contained in the scope of delivery (citric acid). Please note all of the
instructions on the descaler.
