Notes on the regular descaling of the coffee machine
Because of the regional differences in the quality of tap water and in the
calcium content in Germany and Europe, a regular descaling of the machine is
essential.
Long-term use without regular decalcification leads to deposits of limestone
within the heating boiler.
This limestone turns into smaller grains when boiling the water and quickly
clogs the thin hot water tubes and connections that lead to the brewing unit.
The machine will clog and will not function as usual.
To prevent this, we recommend the regular descaling following these steps:
1. Fill the water container with fresh water, and add appropriate amount of
descaling agent.
2. Press the coffee and steam button with two fingers, while the machine is
turned off. Subsequently turn the machine on.
3. Open the hot water / steam knob, and release the coffee and steam button.
The machine will start to descale the hot water/steam tube, pump water
for 10 seconds, and pause for 3 minutes.
4. After 8-10 times, the machine will beep, this announces the end of the
descaling process for hot water/steam tube, please close the hot water/
steam knob.
5. After you close the hot water/steam knob, the machine will enter the coffee
tube descaling process automatically, pump water for 10 seconds, and
pause for 3 minutes;
6. After 8-10 times, the machine will turn back to the original position automatically
and beep again, to announce that the descaling process is completed.
7. Change the descaling water to fresh water, turn the coffee knob to the right
side, keep pressing the coffee button for 5 seconds, the machine will start
the self-cleaning of the coffee tube.
When the coffee tube cleaning process finishes, please open the hot water/
steam knob, until the water container is empty.
8. Descaling process complete.
As a guideline for descaling we recommend 1x a month when brewing up to
3 cups a day.
We would like to point out that the statutory warranty expires if these
instructions are not followed.
Complaints due to an operation failure of the coffee machine can therefore
only be considered if, after inspecting the general condition of the internal
structural components leads to the conclusion that these instructions have
been followed.
