The display will guide you through the
whole procedure. Please follow the
instructions to, for example, empty the
drip tray, fill the water container etc.
The descaling programme cannot
be cancelled once you have
touched the OK sensor. The
programme has to be completed
through to the end. This is a safety
measure to ensure that the machine
is fully descaled, and is important for
the long-term protection of the
machine and to ensure it functions
correctly.
To dissolve the descaling tablets
^ take the water container out and fill it
to the k mark with lukewarm water.
(Do not use less water than this
because this would cause the
descaling programme to finish before
it has been completed properly).
^ Drop 2 descaling tablets in the
water. Allow the tablets to dissolve
fully before shutting the lid and
putting the water container back in
the machine.
^
When prompted, remove the capsule
plate and replace with the coloured
descaling funnel.
The descaling procedure will not
start for another 5 minutes or so.
This time is needed to allow the
descaling tablets to dissolve fully in
the water. It will take longer than this
to start if the appliance is too warm.
During descaling a little water and
descaling agent will run out of the
coffee and steam spouts. This is
followed by an activation period, before
more descaling agent is drained out,
and so on. A message will appear in
the display letting you know
approximately how long this procedure
will take.
