Descaling Limescale deposits have an adverse effect not only on the quality of the espresso and the water, but they also cause power losses and shorten the lifespan of the device. Possible signs that indicate that descaling is required are a large amount of steam being produced and slower brewing. The machine indicates when cleaning or descaling is required by lighting up the yellow light indicator (22). Use anti-scale cleaning agents regularly, every 2-6 weeks, in order to avoid the machine from blocking and from operating in bad conditions. Storage Disconnect the device from the mains power when it is not going to be used for a long period of time. Clean the device again if necessary and let it dry completely. Store the device and all accessories in a dry, clean, safe place that is protected from direct sunlight and cannot be accessed by children or animals.

Warning: Do not attempt to repair defective electrical devices by yourself!
