DESCALING THE STEAM CIRCUIT AND ESPRESSO
Empty the water compartment and put it back in place.
If your appliance is fitted with our Claris - Aqua Filter System F088 cartridge, please remove the
cartridge before the descaling operation.
Fill the tank with a mixture composed of three parts water for one part white vinegar or a mixture of
½ litre of water and a packet of citric or sulphamic acid available in hardware stores.
Insert the filter holder (without ground coffee) into the appliance and lock it by turning it to the right
as far as it will go.
Place a container underneath the steam nozzle.
Press the “on-off” button (fig.4).
Immediately turn the switch to the “steam” position (without stopping at the "steam preheating"
position) (fig.13).
Let the mixture run through the nozzle until steam appears.
Turn the switch back to the “stop” position (fig.15).
Place a container of sufficient volume under the filter holder.
Once the light stops blinking, turn the switch to the “coffee” position and let half of the mixture run
through (fig.8).
Turn the machine off using the "on off" button and leave the switch on the "coffee" position.
After 15 minutes, turn the machine back on.
Let the rest of the water run through.
Turn the switch to the “stop” position.
