Prolonged use or hard water can cause limestone deposits to form in and on many
functioning parts of your machine and reduce operating performance – which, in
turn, reduces the quality of the espresso.
This is why Solis recommends regularly (depending on water hardness but at least
once a month) descaling your Primaroma with a mixture of SOLIPOL
®
water. Please use only SOLIPOL special (Art.-No. 703.02) for descaling the ma-
chine. Damages caused by the use of improper descaling agent are not covered by
warranty.
Proceed as follows:
1. Insert the portafilter (without ground coffee) into the brewing head. Pour a

fill it to the MAX marking.

3. Press the ON / OFF button so that the red function light illuminates and the ap-
pliance is switched on.
