DESCALING ALARM

the machine is equipped with an alarm system that warns the user of the need of descaling of the machine after 400 dispensing series via a blinking green/red light of the On/Off button. To reset such alarm, carry out a complete descaling cycle with the cleaning mode. See following paragraph.

DESCALING PROCEDURE

The normal use of the machine with natural mineral water, both in bottle and from the tap, entails the formation of limescale.

It is recommended to carry out the descaling cycle when a constant decrease of the dispensed coffee flow is noticed.

THE FREQUENCY OF THIS OPERATION DEPENDS ON THE HARDNESS OF WATER USED.

A) Pour a dose of Bialetti descaling solution or equivalent (provided it is not toxic and is suitable for coffee machines) into the water tank (8).

DO NOT USE VINEGAR OR VINE-GAR-BASED SOLUTIONS AS DESCAL-ING AGENT.

8. Maintenance

C) Press On/Off button (4) to switch the machine on.
D) Make sure the machines does not contain any capsule. If needed, open and close the lever (7).
E) Position a suitable cup on the apposite rack and start the cleaning mode pressing the espresso coffee push button (5) and the long coffee one (6) at the same time for 5 secs.

DURING CLEANING MODE, FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE, THE MACHINE DISPENSES WATER INTERMITTENTLY IN ORDER TO CLEAN AND RINSE THE INNER CIRCUITS OF THE MACHINE DEEPLY. AFTER ONE MINUTE, DISPENSING IS CONTINUOUS AGAIN. DURING THIS ENTIRE CYCLE, THE LIGHTS OF THE TWO POURING PUSH BUTTONS AND THE LIGHT OF THE ON/OFF BUTTON WILL BLINK IN GREEN.

F) Stop the cleaning mode by pressing one of the three buttons, when water reaches about half of the tank capacity.
G) Let the descaling agent act for aprox.ly 15-20 minutes with the machine off.
H) Switch the machine on and carry out again the operations described in point E) until the tank is completely empty.
I) Leave the machine off for approximately 5 minutes.
J) Remove the tank and rinse it thoroughly with clean cold water.
K) Fill the tank with clean water up to the "MAX" level and insert it in its seat.
L) Start the cleaning mode pressing the espresso coffee push button (5) and the long coffee one (6) at the same time for 5 secs until the tank is completely empty. If necessary, start the cleaning mode several times (the machine features a safety system, which interrupts dispensing automatically after having dispensed 0.7 l of liquid consecutively).
M) Carry out the operations described in point L).

9. Energy saving mode

This appliance was designed in compliance with the European Directives EC1275/2008 and 2009/125/EC, stating the need to adopt the energy saving mode.

This appliance features an auto power off function that activates after 10 minutes of downtime if no coffee is dispensed.

To restart the machine it is necessary to press the On/Off button (4) located on the front side of the appliance: the machine will start the pre-heating stage of the boiler (red pour push buttons LEDs and On/Off button) and once it reaches the operating temperature, it will indicate the ready state (green pour push button LED and On/Off button).

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist in the GT, violating the rule to ignore such lines. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
