29. DECALCIFYING PROCESS
The machine has an integrated decalcifying program.
This program takes about 50 minutes.
When the display shows
COFFEE READY DESCALE it is time
to decalcify the machine. You can still make coffee. However, it
is highly recommended that you decalcify the machine within the
next 3 to 4 days.
Please note: If you use the Clearyl water cartridge and the display
shows COFFEE READY DESCALE then your cartridge function
is not activated. Follow the instructions in chapter 23a to
program the Clearyl Cartridge function. If the cartridge is in use
for several weeks install a new cartridge.
Important: The decalcifying program must not be interrupted.
DECALCIFYING AGENT: Only use our special decalcifying
tablets Model # 61848, see chapter 34.
CAUTION: Never use vinegar or any other decalcifying agent.
This might damage internal parts of the machine.
CAUTION: Immediately remove any splashes or drops of the
decalcifying solution from sensitive surfaces, such as natural
stone or wood.
Always wait until the decalcifying solution in the water tank has
been used up. Do not fill additional decalcifying solution into the
water tank.
