Switch off the machine by pressing the main
switch and open the service door (15).
Remove the coffee grounds container (1).
35
Remove the central unit (16) by holding it by the
handle and pressing the "PRESS" key.
Wash the central unit with warm water with-
out any solvent.
Make sure there are no coffee residues on the
two chrome-steel filters.
Dry it thoroughly.
36
Remove the coffee rest drawer (20) and clean
it, using a non-abrasive soap.
Clean the service area thoroughly with a damp
cloth and re-insert the coffee grounds container
again.
37
By holding the central unit by its handle, slide it
back into its original position, making sure it is
correctly engaged.
Then close the service door. Insert the coffee
grounds container again.
When replacing the central unit, do
not press the "PRESS" key (it may
cause damages to the machine)!
Warning: if the central unit is not correctly
inserted, the warning light switches on, thus
preventing the machine from brewing coffee.
Coffee grinder
Never fill the coffee grinder with water: it may
DESCALING
damage the machine!
Descaling
Descaling is necessary to remove limescale from
surfaces and holes, thus ensuring a perfect
operation of valves, heating controls and other
important parts.
Note: due to the complexity of the coffee
machine hydraulic circuit, the following descaling
cycles (automatic and standard) do not allow the
descaling of all tubes.
In fact, easily accessible components
such as the central unit (22) and its
plastic connection are excluded.
According to water hardness, the machine must
be descaled every 3-4 months, according to the
water hardness degree.
A more frequent descaling is recommended
wherever the water hardness degree is very
high.
This machine is supplied with a particular warn-
ing light to make this operation easier.
Descaling must be carried out at the latest when
this warning light switches on.
Furthermore, said warning light may be adjusted
according to the water hardness degree.
The machine has been adjusted at the factory to
a 25°fH value, which causes the warning light
to switch on after approx. 150l.
The water hardness value may be changed, if
necessary, following the instructions shown on
page 32.
The following adjustments are possible:
Hardness index 1: high water hardness, exceed-
ing 29°fH (14°dH), approx. 80 l water passage.
Hardness index 2: medium water hardness,
approx. 20-29°fH (7-14°dH), approx. 150 l
38
water passage.
Hardness index 3: soft water, approx. 12-
20°fH (47°dH) approx. 300 l water passage.
Hardness index 4: very soft water, less than
10°fH (3°dH), more than 500 l of water pas-
sage.
In case of hard water, a filter should be used both
to improve the coffee quality and to protect the
machine, thus reducing the descaling frequency.
Descaling must be carried out as follows:
Note: for this purpose, use a descaling product
suitable for coffee machines.
Never use vinegar to clean the ma-
chine; it might damage it.
There are two ways to carry out the descaling of
the machine:
Automatic descaling
Turn the machine off.
Pour descaling solution into the water tank
(according to the instructions on the descaling
solution package).
Switch the machine on to the programming
mode (see page 31, point 27).
Place a large container under the steam/hot
water dispensing tube (5) and open the steam/
hot water knob (6) slowly.
The contents of the tank are pumped quickly
through the machine, saving time.
Standard descaling
Switch off the machine.
Pour a descaling product into the water tank
(according to the instructions on the descaling
solution package).
Switch the machine on to the programming
mode. Place a large container under the steam/
hot water dispensing tube (5) and open the
DESCALING
steam/hot water knob (6) slowly, turning it
counterclockwise.
Turn on the machine by pressing the main switch
and let the descaling product flow out of the
dispensing tube for approx. 1 min.
Close the knob again.
Turn off the machine with the main switch and let
the solution take effect for approx. 5 minutes.
Repeat this procedure two or three times, to
allow all of the descaling product in the water
tank to flow out of the dispensing tube.
As soon as descaling has been carried out, rinse
the tank (8) thoroughly and fill it with fresh water.
Switch on the machine and let fresh water
(approx. 2 l) flow out of the steam/hot water
dispensing tube in order to rinse away residue.
The machine is now ready for operation.
When the machine is on, the warning light
switches off automatically, by pressing the steam
selection button for at least 5 seconds.
Important
A periodic descaling avoids expensive re-
pairs. The machine warranty does not cover
damages occurring as a result of the non-
observance of descaling procedures, im-
proper use and failure to comply with and
follow any other instructions contained herein.
Maintain the manufacturer's adjustment if the
water hardness degree is not known.
Storage of the machine
Switch off the machine and unplug it if the
machine wil not be used for
long periods of time.
Keep the machine in a dry place, far from the
