DECALCIFYING
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral
build up in and on many of the inner functioning
components, reducing the brewing flow, power
of the machine, and affecting the quality of coffee.
We advise decalcifying the machine on a regular
basis (depending on the hardness of water, but
at least every one to two months) using a mixture
of water and SOLIPOL
®
special.
Follow the instructions provided.
NOTE:
It is recommended to use only SOLIPOL
special for decalcifying your machine and
no liability can be assumed for damages
that have been caused by other decalcifiers.
CAUTION:
If drops or splashes of the decalcifier – or
of the mixture with decalcifier and water –
get in contact with the housing of the appli-
ance, please wipe them away immediately
in order to avoid any damage of the surface
of the housing.
WARNING:
Do not immerse power cord, power plug
or appliance in water or any other liquid.
The water tank should never be removed or
completely emptied during decalcifying.
DECALCIFYING THE MACHINE
• Remove the portafilter and frothing attach-
ment. Fill up completely the water tank with
the mixture of decalcification liquid (SOLIPOL
special in a 1:1 ratio – 1 part SOLIPOL
1 part water).
• Plug the machine into the power outlet.
• Press the POWER button to the 'On' position.
• Place a large container under the group head
and steam wand.
• When the brewing temperature has been
®
reached all the button surrounds on the
Control Panel will illuminate. Press and hold
the one cup
or two cup
commence manual pour and keep it pushed
until the pour will stop automatically. Repeat
this procedure until approx. 80% of the mixture
of decalcification liquid and water has run
through the group head.
• Set the steam dial to the «STEAM» position
and allow steam to run through the Steam
Wand for approximately 2 minutes. Return the
steam dial back to the «OFF» position.
• After decalcifying, remove the water tank and
rinse thoroughly then refill with fresh cold water.
To rinse the machine, repeat previous steps.
