10.3 DESCALING

Due to the continuous heating of the water used to make the coffee, over
time it is normal for the tubing inside the machine to fill with lime scale.
When the light starts flashing, it is time to descale the machine.
NOTE: when the light switches on, the coffee maker can still be used to
prepare coffee.

Proceed as follows:

•prepare the solution as indicated on the packaging of the
descaling product supplied with the coffee maker (and that can
be purchased from Dè Longhi Service Centres).

ONLY USE THE

DESCALING SOLUTION SUPPLIED BY DE’ LONGHI.

• Pour the contents of the bottle of descaler (0.5 litres) into the
water tank and then add water (0.5 litres, as described in the
instructions on the bottle).

•place a container with a minimum capacity of 1.5 litres under
the milk frother (Fig. 3);

• turn the machine on by pressing the button.

•wait for the and indicator lights to come on steady.

•press the button for at least 5 seconds (Fig.14). The light insi­de the button switches on to indicate the start of the descaling pro­gram (the and lights remain off to indicate that it is not pos­sible to make coffee).

• turn the steam knob half a turn anticlockwise (Fig.5). The
descaling solution will come out of the milk frother and start to
fill the container underneath.

• the descaling program automatically performs a series of deli­veries and pauses, so as to remove the lime scale deposits from
inside the coffee maker.

• after around 30 minutes, when the light comes on, turn the
steam knob half a turn clockwise (Fig.6) until it stops.

The machine must be rinsed so as to eliminate the residues of
descaling solution from inside the machine. Proceed as follows:

• remove the water tank, rinse it and fill it with clean water.

• reposition the tank.

• empty the collection container under the milk frother.

• turn the steam knob half a turn anticlockwise (Fig. 5). Hot
water will come out of the milk frother and fill the container
underneath.

• when the tank is empty, the light goes off and the light
comes on.

• turn the steam knob all the way clockwise (Fig. 6) and fill the
water tank with clean water again.

• the program of descaling is hour terminated and the machine
is ready per do again the coffee.
NOTE: if the descaling procedure is stopped before comple­tion, the alarm is not deactivated and the procedure must
be started again form the beginning.
