RECOMMENDATIONS

To enjoy a high quality espresso, remember to:

• Change the water in the tank at least once a week.
• If possible, use water with a hardness of less than 12 French degrees to reduce the deposits inside the machine.
• Used warmed cups.

DESCALING

The formation of limescale is a natural consequence of using of the machine. Descaling allows to optimise cleaning and removing scale deposits from the inside.

WARNING: If the descaling is not performed the limescale can cause malfunctions not covered by the warranty.

Use descaling products that are not excessively aggressive. To descale the machine you can use any commercially available non-toxic descaling product for coffee machines.

Use the descaling product supplied with the machine to descale for the first time.

The need to run the descaling cycle is indicated by the dimming of the buttons every 10 seconds.

To descale the machine, proceed as follows:

Make sure that the main switch “M” is positioned to “0”. Check that there are no capsules in the capsule compartment “B “. Remove the water tank “L” and empty the residual water.

Fill the tank with 0.7 litres of fresh drinking water. Add the descaling product and wait for it to dissolve (stir to make the product dissolve faster).

Fit the tank “L” back in the machine until it is inserted correctly in place.

Place a container “W” with a capacity of at least 1 litre beneath the brew group “C”.

Now you can start descaling:

1) Switch the machine on.
2) Press the button within 15 seconds of switching on the machine and hold it for 7 seconds until a beep is heard.

3) The button will begin flashing.

4) Press the button again within 5 seconds and the machine will emit a beep.

The button flashes alternately for about 10 minutes during the process.

The remains permanently on after the water and descaling solution has finished.

Now proceed with the rinsing cycle to eliminate any residual descaling product:

Remove the water tank “L”, and empty the residual water with descaling product.

Rinse it out thoroughly under running water and fill it with fresh drinking water.

WARNING: Do not reuse the water and descaling solution, dispensed in container “W” during the descaling process, for the rinse phase.

Fit the tank “L” back in the machine until it is inserted correctly in place.

Empty the container “W” and place it back under the brew group “C”.

The button light is on.

Press the button to start the rinse cycle.

The machine runs the rinse cycle for about five minutes dispensing water at regular intervals.

The button flashes alternately.

After rinsing, the

and

buttons are permanently on and a beep sounds to confirm that the machine is ready for use.

Do not use vinegar, lye, salt or formic acid because they may damage the machine.

Use only descaling agents suitable for coffee machines.

The descaling solution must be disposed of in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.

Do not drink the liquid dispensed during the descaling process; the machine can be used to make coffee when the descaling process is finished.
