When to descale
Why to descale
Use the correct descaler
4 Press the lungo button.
5 Empty the cup after the machine has finished dispensing water.
6 Open the lever and repeat steps 3 to 5 to ensure proper cleaning of the
coffee circuit.
7 Empty the waste water drawer.
The machine is now ready for use.
- Descale the machine when the ristretto and lungo button flash quickly a
few times after brewing. The descaling procedure takes up to 40 minutes
and consists of a descaling cycle and a rinsing cycle. Do not interrupt the
descaling procedure.
Descaling is essential for the following reasons:
- It prolongs the life of your L'OR Barista coffee machine
- It ensures maximum cup volume
- It ensures maximum coffee temperature
- The machine produces less sound during brewing
- It prevents malfunctioning
If the descaling procedure is not performed correctly, scale residue remains
behind in the machine. This causes scale to build up more quickly and may
cause permanent and irreparable damage to the machine.
Only citric acid-based descalers are suitable for descaling the L'OR Barista
machine. This type of descaler descales the machine without damaging it.
