12 DESCALING
Scale forms due to mineral content in the
water; it is necessary to remove scale every
4-6 months of use or whenever you observe
a decreased flow of water. If you want to
descale the machine yourself, you may use
any commercially available non-toxic, non-
harmful descaling agent for coffee machines.
Warning! Never use vinegar as
a descaling agent.
• Mix the descaling agent with water as
directed on the package and pour the
solution into the water container.
• Turn on the machine by pressing the button
(15); the on/off light (16) will go on.
• Press the button (19); the light (20) will go on.
• Position the steam tube (9) over the drip tray.
• Empty the contents from the water
container at intervals (one cup at a time);
turn the steam knob (11)
counterclockwise to dispense; turn the
knob (11) clockwise to cut off flow.
• During each interval, allow the descaling
agent to act for about 10-15 minutes.
• When all of the descaling agent has been
used up, rinse out the water container
and fill it with fresh water.
• Empty out 2/3 of the water in the tank
by turning the steam knob (11)
counterclockwise; turn the knob (11)
clockwise to cut off flow.
• Let the machine heat up and empty out
the water remaining in the tank by turning
the steam knob (11) counterclockwise;
turn the knob (11) clockwise to cut off flow.
Should you use a descaling agent
other than the one recommended
