8. DESCALING
The warranty does not cover machines which have become faulty be-
cause descaling was not periodically performed. Descale your espresso
machine regularly using Krups descaling kits (model F054) available in
Krups authorized service centres (to Krupsonlinestore.ca for Canadian
residents only). In addition to two packets of descaling powder, the kit
also includes a water hardness tester to help you determine the proper
schedule for descaling your machine in normal use. The amount of scale
that develops depends on the hardness of the water used, but also the
level of use. The schedule indicated by the water hardness tester is a
general guideline only. Keep in mind that you may have to descale more
frequently than indicated.
If in doubt, it is recommended to descale every month.
DESCALING THE MACHINE
n Empty the tank and replace.
n Follow the instructions for using the Krups descaling powder inside
the kit.
n Then insert the filter holder (without espresso grounds) and lock into
place by turning to the right.
n Place a container under the steam wand to catch the water.
n Press the “on/off” button to turn the machine on, and then immediately
turn the dial to the position, without stopping at the (i2))position.
n Let the mixture run through the nozzle until steam appears.
n Then turn the dial back to the
O (i1) (fig. 15) position.
n Place the container under the filter holder.
n Once the coffee light turns on, turn the dial to the (h2) (fig. 5)
and run half of the remaining water through.
n Turn the machine by pressing the “on/off” button and leave the dial
at the (h2) position. Empty the container under the filter holder
and replace under the filter holder.
