Decalcification

Decalcification / Maintenance

Drinking water varies according to region. The lime particles in hard drinking water are deposited as residues in the machine and can block the piping and cause damage. To prevent this, be sure to decalcify the machine at the very least after making 300 to 400 cups of coffee or in any case if the output falls significantly or after one or two months. Decalcification must be done correctly to prevent damage.

So it is essential to follow these instructions.

Important:

- Never clean the machine with vinegar.

This causes damage and makes your coffee taste bad.

- Damage caused by incorrect decalcification or failure to decalcify is not covered by the guarantee.

- Caution: HOT WATER!

1. Recommendations: Purchase commercially available decalcifier (decalcifying liquid), diluted according to the manufacturer's instructions; pour the mixture in the water tank.

2. Make sure there is without Capsule inside the machine.

3. Place a large bowl under the dispensing head to collect the decalcification diluted and lime residues.

4. Fill the water tank with water to maximum level mixed with decalcifying solution, make sure the solution is dissolved completely.

5. Press the small button to run decalcifying water as you brew coffee normally, repeat for several times to run out the entire tank water.

6. Repeat the process to run another tanks of water mixed with decalcifying solution.

7. Repeat the process to Flush out the intern circuit with a tank of fresh water (without the decalcifying solution) to clean the internal circuit completely.

Factory Reset

Hand pressing a button on a mechanical component (no text or symbols visible)

a. Turn off the machine.

b. Press the lungo button and keep the button pressed, then switch ON the machine simultaneously, release the button after 3 seconds or when you see the buttons flash. if the machine is warming up after reset, the machine will flash more than twice).
