In operation mode, the steam button flashes red and both coffee buttons constantly
light up white.
In this case, the machine can still be used, but none of the settings (except for the
coffee quantity) are available at this moment.
ATTENTION: In the event of an alarm, you should descale your machine immediately
in order to prevent the functionality from being reduced or the coffee quality from
degrading. Repairs to the espresso machine relative to limescale problems are not
covered by the warranty if the descaling procedure described below is not performed
regularly.

mixture of SOLIPOL® special and water. Please use only SOLIPOL

steam/hot water control (M) to allow steam to escape so that the steam wand
is also descaled. Then, turn the control back to the OFF position. During the
pauses, the tank can be emptied, making it possible for the tank to hold less

grid must not be removed.
5. After these cycles, the descaling process ends, a double signal sounds, the Prog.
button and the steam button flash more slowly again. Now the machine has to
