Brew Group Cleaning; Prophylactic Descaling - ECM TECHNIKA V Profi PID Bedienungsanleitung

Depending on usage, please refresh the boiler water every 2 – 3 weeks by operating the pump switch and extracting
about 0.8L of hot water from the hot water wand.
Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning.
Never use abrasive or chloric detergents!
Empty the water drip tray regularly and do not wait until it is full.

7.2 Brew group cleaning

A brew group cleaner (in powder or tablet form) is available at your specialised dealer. With this detergent, you can
clean and degrease the group very easily. The cleaning is carried out using the blind filter included in delivery. The
group cleaning with our tablets can be carried out after approx. 90 - 150 cups.
Follow the instructions as noted below:
1 Heat up the machine.
2 Place the blind filter into the portafilter.
3 Put a ½ bag of the group cleaning powder into the blind filter.
4 Clamp the portafilter into the brew group.
5 Operate the group lever. The blind filter will fill with water.
6 Let the detergent react, moving the group lever into the middle position, approx. 45°. (Do not move it into the
lower position.)
7 Move the lever into the lower position after approx. 2 seconds minute. This way, the fats and oils can be
discharged by the infusion cylinder.
8 Repeat points 5-7 several times, until only clear water is discharged by the infusion cylinder.
9 Rinse the portafilter and the blind filter with fresh water. Then replace it.
10 Operate the group lever for approx. 40 seconds. Then move it back into the lower position.
11 Remove the portafilter and repeat point 10. After this, the brew group is ready for use.
12 Place the filter for 1 or 2 cups into the portafilter.
Caution!
Beware of hot spray while cleaning the group.

7.3 Prophylactic descaling

A regular descaling of the machine is recommended in order to avoid calcification and expensive repairs. While
descaling, always take into account the hardness dlevel of the water.
Important
Use a domestic descaler which does not affect the metal. You can purchase a descaler in powder or
tablet form perfectly suited for your machine at your specialty dealer.
Our ECM decalcifier is ideal, as it contains only approx. 30% citric acid, unlike other decalcifiers
available on the market. Never use decalcifiers based on "sulphamic acid" (also known as
amidosulphonic acid). This acid is about 6 times stronger than citric acid.
Note that when using ECM Descaler, the water turns green to bluish. Please rinse until the water with
descaler is completely removed from the machine, i.e. clear.
You can purchase the ECM descaler perfectly suited for your machine at your specialty dealer.
