Descaling
When to descale
Descale the system when the small drink and large drink buttons are
flashing at the same time. The descaling procedure takes up to 40
minutes and consists of a descaling cycle and a rinsing cycle. Do not
interrupt the descaling procedure.
Why to descale
Descaling is essential for the following reasons:
- It prolongs the life of your L'OR Barista coffee & espresso system
- It ensures maximum cup volume
- It ensures maximum coffee temperature
- The system produces less sound during brewing
- It prevents malfunctioning
If the descaling procedure is not performed correctly, scale residue
remains behind in the system. This causes scale to build up more quickly
and may cause permanent and irreparable damage to the system.
Use the correct descaler
Only lactic acid-based descalers are suitable for descaling the L‘OR
Barista system. This type of descaler descales the machine without
damaging it.
We recommend the Philips CA6700 liquid descaling agent. It is
available on Amazon in bottles that contain enough liquid for two
descaling procedures. You will need half a bottle for one descaling
procedure and can store the other half for the next descaling procedure.
Descaling procedure
Note: If something goes wrong during the descaling procedure, e.g.
you accidentally interrupt the descaling cycle, you have to restart the
descaling procedure from step 1.
1. Press the on/off button to switch on the system.

English
2. Pour half a bottle of L'OR Barista liquid descaler into the water tank.
3. Fill up the water tank with fresh tap water.
4. Make sure that there is no capsule in the capsule compartment.
5. Close the lever.
6. Place a bowl with a minimum capacity of 1.5 liters / 51oz on the
lower drip tray under the coffee dispensing spout to collect the
descaling solution.

7. Press the small drink and large drink buttons briefly at the same time.
8. The small drink button starts to flash quickly. Press the small drink
button to activate the descaling cycle.The system dispenses the entire
descaling solution at regular intervals. This takes up to 30 minutes.
- When the large drink button starts to flash quickly again, the first
phase of the descaling cycle has finished.
9. Remove and empty the bowl. Place the bowl back onto the lower
drip tray under the coffee dispensing spout.
10. Remove the water tank and rinse it under the tap. Fill the water tank
with cold tap water and place it back onto the system.
11. Press the large drink button to start the flushing cycle.
Note: The water tank will be emptied without interruption. The flushing
cycle lasts about 3 minutes.
12. When the flushing cycle has finished, the small drink and large drink
buttons flash a few times.
Note: It is normal that some water remains behind in the water tank after
the descaling procedure.
The system switches off. The descaling procedure is finished.
