DESCALING
We recommend that you descale the coffee maker
about every 200 coffees.
Use specific products for descaling espresso machines
available on the market.
If you cannot find these products, it is possible to use
the following procedure:
1.Fill the water tank with 34 fl oz. (1 liter) of water.
2.Dissolve 2 teaspoons (about 1oz./30 grams) of citric
acid (sold at drugstores) in the water.
3.Press the On/Off button to turn on the machine (the
button lights up) (Fig. 4) and wait for the light to
come on.
4.Make sure that the filter-holder is not attached and
place a container under the boiler outlet.
5.Press the coffee button (Fig. 6) and let out about
1/4 of the solution in the tank. Every now and then,
turn the steam knob to let out a little of the solution,
then press the button to stop and leave the solution to
work for about 5 minutes.
6.Repeat step 5 three more times until the tank is
completely emptied.
7.To eliminate solution and lime scale residues, rinse
the tank thoroughly, fill it with clean water (without
dissolving citric acid), and replace the tank.
8.Press the coffee button and let the water run through
until the tank is completely empty.
9.Repeat steps 7 and 8 one more time.
Repair of damage to the coffee machine caused by
lime scale is not covered by the warranty if descaling is
not performed regularly as described above.
