Attention: Before decalcifying,
remove the GoldTone Filter from the
machine.
11a. How to Decalcify with DURGOL
Capresso and many European com-
panies recommend "Durgol" a
liquid decalcifying agent. Durgol
removes any calcium deposits up to
20 times faster than vinegar.
1. Remove the GoldTone Filter.
2. Fill the water container with 18 oz.
cold water. Add 6 oz. Durgol and
stir. Attention: Never fill Durgol into
the water container first.
3. Make sure that the filter holder is in
place and that the Stainless Steel
Carafe is empty. Place the Carafe
with the closed lid on the platform.
4. Let the solution sit for 5 minutes.
5. Turn the machine on and let the
solution pass through.
6. When the red light turns off, remove
the carafe, empty the solution and
rinse the carafe thoroughly with
fresh water a few times.
7. Fill 5 cups of fresh water into the
water tank and brew through the
machine.
11b. Using other Decalcifying Agents
Please make sure only to use liquid
decalcifying agents suitable for drip
coffee makers and follow the instruc-
tions which come with the agent.
Attention: Decalcifying agents are
acids and therefore must be handled
properly. Please check the information
on the packaging of the decalcifying
agents before using.
12. Troubleshooting
What to do if...
...Coffee drips from the filter, when
the carafe is removed.
• Ground coffee sits in the drip stop
and does not allow the drip stop to
close properly. Immediately replace
the carafe and wait until all the coffee
has been filtered in the carafe. Now
remove carafe and remove the Filter
holder. Clean filter holder under run-
ning water. Push the drip stop several
times to remove coffee particles. Over
the sink fill some water into the filter
holder and check if the drip stop closes
properly.
...Ground coffee is flowing over the
GoldTone Filter.
• Coffee is ground too fine.
• Use less coffee the next time
(chapter 5c).
• Use a paper filter (size 4) instead of
the GoldTone Filter.
