DESCALING
• It is recommended to descale the machine decalcification
depending on frequency of use and water hardness, however
do so every three months at least, using a specific descaler
product available from household appliance shops or
chemists.
• Pour a solution of water and des-caler product into the
water tank (13) (Fig. R).
• Insert the filter holder (6) (without coffee) under the boiler
group (12).
• Switch on the machine.
• Put a container under the Cappuccino Automatic or the Turbo Cappuccino and another one under
the filter holder.
• Push the coffee switch (3) and let water to flow from the boiler
group (12) for 10-15 seconds (Fig. S).
• Turn the knob (14) anti-clockwise, and let water to flow from
the Cappuccino Automatic or the Turbo Cappuccino, for
10-15 seconds.
• Turn off the coffee switch (3).
• Let the solution work for about 15 minutes.
• Repeat this procedure until the water in the tank goes down
to the minimum level.
• Remove and rinse the tank, fill it with fresh water and reinstall it in the machine.
• Push the coffee switch (3) and let water to flow freely from the boiler group and from the Cappuccino
Automatic device (15) or the Turbo Cappuccino (11), in
order to flush out the residues of descaler solution.
• Turn off the coffee switch (3).
• Warning: in case of heavy scaling, using a coin (or a
screwdriver) to unscrew the mounting screw of the filter
plate in the boiler group (12), and clean off any scaling (Fig.
T).
