Descale the machine
DANGER
Operation of a heavily calcified machine
Heavy calcification can impair the functionality of the machine.
Lime particles loosening can also block lines and damage the
machine.
► Use softened water to slow down calcification.
► Descale your machine regularly, as long as there is no
heavy limescale residue.
► Have your specialist dealer decalcify a heavily calcified
machine.
DANGER
Descaling a machine that is already calcified
A machine that is already heavily calcified must not be
descaled using the method described below. Lime pieces that
come off could clog lines and damage the machine.
► Use the method described below to descale your machine
only as a preventative measure against scaling.
► Have your specialist dealer decalcify a heavily calcified
machine.
Descale the machine as a preventive measure
✓ Have the following ready:
– Portafilter with blind sieve (included in delivery)
– Descaling liquid (available from specialist retailers)
– A medium-sized vessel (for drawing water)
✓ There is no portafilter inserted.
1. Heat up the machine until it has reached operating
temperature.
2. Turn off the machine.
3. Place a vessel under the hot water outlet and open the valve to
empty the water from the kettle. Close the hot water valve
again when no more water comes out.
4. Remove and empty the water tank, mix a suitable descaling
agent with water as specified, fill the water tank with it and put
it back in.
5. Turn on the machine.
↳ The boiler is filled with the descaling liquid.
6. Push the dispensing lever up and wait for liquid to come out of
the brew group.
↳ The heat exchanger was then filled with the descaling liquid.
7. Set the hot water lever vertically to switch off the pump
