What to do if the descaling procedure is interrupted

You can exit the descaling procedure by pressing the on/off button on the control panel. If the
descaling procedure is interrupted before it is completely finished, do the following:
1 Empty and rinse the water tank thoroughly.
2 Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the CALC CLEAN level indication and switch the machine
back on. The machine will heat up and perform an automatic rinsing cycle.
3 Before brewing any drinks, perform a manual rinsing cycle. To perform a manual rinsing cycle, first
dispense half a water tank of hot water and then brew 2 cups of pre-ground coffee without adding
ground coffee.
Note: If the descaling procedure was not completed, the machine will require another descaling
procedure as soon as possible.
