12.2 Decalcifying (Special Liquid DURGOL Required)
Please note:
• If you use distilled water (water hardness "level –") or if you use the Claris
water filter (water hardness level "filter") this chapter does not apply.
• If your C1500 is set to water hardness level 1, 2, 3 or 4 please read on.
When water is heated inside the C1500 calcium will slowly deposit in the inner
tubes. If the water hardness is set to any level between 1 and 4, the C1500
monitors the water amount used (see table in chapter 10.6). At some point the
display will show DECALCIFYING / NECESSARY alternating with the regular
message. This indicates that it is time to run the decalcifying program.
Please note: During this message you can still use the machine. However, we
strongly recommend performing the decalcifying procedure within a week
. If
you wait too long, you can severely damage your machine.
Important: NEVER use vinegar or any powder agent for decalcification. This will
damage inner parts of the machine. Only use DURGOL decalcifying agent.
DURGOL is available through your Capresso retailers or the enclosed mail
order form or through www.capresso.com. The order number for DURGOL is:
#7510. One bottle of DURGOL lasts for 5 decalcifying procedures.
12.3 How to Decalcify
One decalcifying cycle lasts approximately 40 minutes.
Please note: Never decalcify the machine with the Claris Filter inserted in the
water tank (see chapter 13.i).
a. Set the Program Dial to Position 6. The display will show:
DECALC. / PRESS P BUTTON
b. Press the P Button.
Important: It is essential not to interrupt the process once it has begun.
c. The display will show: EMPTY TRAY.
(Attention: If the display shows SET P DIAL / TO POS. 1 then the
machine is too hot for the decalcifying cycle. Turn the Program Dial to
position 1. Place a cup underneath the steam nozzle and turn the SW Dial
to the hot water position (fig. 2c). Stop the hot water cycle after approx. 5
seconds. Now you can begin the decalcyfing procedure.
Please note: You must remove the tray even if it is empty. Replace tray. The
display will show: FILL TANK WITH / DECALC MIX alternating with PRESS P
BUTTON.
