Lime scale builds up in the coffee
system through use. How often the
machine needs to be descaled will
depend on the water hardness level in
your area. It should be descaled
regularly to ensure that it functions
correctly.
The machine will guide you through the
descaling process. Various messages
will appear in the display, e.g. you will
be prompted to empty the drip tray or
fill the water container.
Descaling must be carried out.
The coffee system prompts you when it
needs to be descaled. "No. of portions
until appliance needs descaling: 50"
appears in the display. Each time a
drink is prepared, the coffee machine
displays the number of portions
remaining until descaling must be
carried out.

Touch OK.
When the number of remaining portions
reaches 0, the appliance will lock out.
Then "Descale appliance" will appear in
the display.

you do not want to descale it at this
time. However, you will be not be able
to make any more drinks until descaling
has been carried out.
