Descaling instructions

Depending on the water quality (lime

content) in your area as well as the frequency

of use, all thermal household appliances using

hot water need descaling (i.e. removal of lime

deposits) on a regular basis to ensure proper

functioning. Any warranty claim will be

null and void if the appliance malfunctions

because of insu cient descaling.

When the brewing process takes longer than

normal, it is likely that descaling is necessary.

– Mix four cups of water with a

commercially available descaling solution

(follow the manufacturer’s information

for the right concentration).

– Pour the mixture into the water container.

– Let the appliance run through one or two

brewing cycles (as described in the section

Making espresso) with the  lter holder

 tted, but without using the  lter insert

and without putting in any co ee.
