The Descaling Programme - Krups EA 80 Serie Utilisation Et Entretien

KRUPS Espresseria Automatic

5.3 The descaling programme

A message on the screen will indicate
when a descaling programme needs to
be run for the appliance. The frequency
of this programme depends on the qua-
lity of the water used, the harder the
water, the more often the appliance has
to be descaled.
To run the descaling programme, you will
need a recipient with a capacity of at
least 0.6 litres that may be placed under-
neath the coffee tube and the steam noz-
zle, and a KRUPS descaling sachet
(F 054) (40 g). You may also use citric
acid or tartaric acid.
The automatic descaling programme has
3 phases: one descaling cycle and two
rinsing cycles. The programme lasts ap-
proximately 22 minutes.
Running the descaling programme
Place a recipient with a capacity of at least
0.6 litres underneath the coffee tube and the
steam nozzle.
!
Caution : Protect your work tops from any
splashes of descaling solution, especially if
they are made of marble, stone or wood.
Protect the surface below the drip tray, for
example with paper towels.
When the message "Descaling required" is
displayed on the screen, press the Pro-
gramme button (2), to display the Descaling
menu.
If you use the Krups Aqua Filter System
F088 filter cartridge, remove it before the
descaling operation and fill the water tank up
to the Calc line (0.5 l) with warm water.
