Descaling

To ensure that the machine continues to work properly, that the internal pipes are clean, and that the coffee retains its full flavour, it is necessary to descale the machine regularly.

Procedure for removing limescale deposits

For further information, please refer to the manufacturer's label. Use a household descaler. You can also use citric acid instead of descaling liquid. In this case, add three parts citric acid and two parts water.
2. Press the double coffee icon to dispense about 100 ml of hot water. Then, switch off the coffee machine and leave the solution to act for 5 minutes.
3. Switch the machine back on and repeat step 3 twice, filling the tank with tap water up to the "MAX" mark (there is no need to wait for 5 minutes).
