How to descale the Caffitaly Ambra S18 coffee machine?

Question

Accepted Answer

Descaling your Caffitaly Ambra S18 coffee machine is essential to maintain its performance and longevity. The machine automatically signals when descaling is necessary: when the “Multifunction” light blinks yellow and the device emits 3 beeps. For this operation, you must use the Caffitaly System descaler, specially formulated to respect the technical characteristics of your machine. Do not use vinegar, as it could damage it.

Before you begin, turn off the machine by pressing the main switch. Carefully empty and rinse the used capsule holder and the drip tray. Then remove the water tank and empty it completely. Prepare the descaling solution by mixing the contents of a bottle of Caffitaly System descaler with about 750 ml of water (for a total of 1 liter) and pour this mixture into the tank.

Before starting the cycle, ensure that the opening handle is fully lowered and that there is no capsule inside the housing. Remove the drip tray and place a container of at least 500 ml under the dispensing nozzle to collect the used solution. Simultaneously press the A and B buttons while turning on the machine via the main switch. The B button should light up and the “Multifunction” light should blink alternately in yellow and red.

Press the B button to start the automatic descaling cycle. The machine will dispense the solution at regular intervals for about 25 minutes (5 distributions spaced 4 minutes apart). During this phase, do not touch any buttons and let the device operate. If the container fills up, empty it. When the first phase is complete, the B button lights up and a beep sounds to indicate that the water tank is empty.

Carefully empty and rinse the water tank, then refill it with fresh still water. Replace the used capsule holder and the drip tray. Press the B button to start the rinsing cycle, which will dispense about 500 ml of water through the circuit. Once this cycle is complete, the machine emits a beep and the A-B-C buttons blink: the device is in heating phase.

After heating, when all A-B-C buttons light up steadily and 2 beeps sound, your Caffitaly Ambra S18 machine is ready for use. Complete the operation by emptying and rinsing the water tank one last time, then refill it with fresh water. Also empty and rinse the used capsule holder before putting all the elements back in place. Important: do not turn off the machine and do not open the handle during the entire descaling process, and ensure that someone remains present throughout the operation.
