Descaling (F)
Lime scale built-up is a natural consequence of
appliance use. Descaling must be performed once
every 4 weeks; if the water is very hard, descaling
is needed more often. Descaling frequency may
be reduced with soft waters. To descale your ap-
pliance, use any commercially available non-toxic
descaling product.
1. Switch the appliance off.
2. Remove the tank and empty it.
3. Fill the tank with the descaling solution and
follow the instructions on the product packa-
ge.
4. Remove the grid.
5. Switch the appliance on.
6. Press the button (9) without inserting any
capsule and supply water for 10 seconds,
then press the button again to stop. Place a
cup to collect the water dispensed.
7. Switch the appliance off.
8. Leave the descaling solution in for about 10-
15 minutes, with the appliance off.
9. Repeat the procedure from point 5 to 7 un-
til there is no more descaling solution in the
tank.
10. Remove the water tank, rinse it thoroughly
and fill it again with fresh drinkable water.
11. Switch the appliance on.
12. Press the button (9) without inserting any
capsule and supply water for 10 seconds,
then press the button again to stop. Repeat
the procedure until the tank is emptied. Pla-

ce off.
14. Fill the water tank again and repeat the pro-
cedure from point 12.

fill up the tank again. The appliance will now
be ready for use.
Long periods without using the ap-
pliance
1. If the appliance is not used for longer periods
of time, switch it off and unplug it from the
wall.

from dust and out of the reach of children.

its original packaging.

be lower than 5° C, in order to avoid any da-
mage to the inner parts of the appliance due
to water freezing.
