Descaling The Device; Troubleshooting - Elec-Tech 237409 Mode D'emploi

Descaling the Device

If the water only runs very slowly through the device or the device is louder than usual during
the brewing process, you should descale the device.
1. Pour the mixture of water and descaling agent into the water reservoir and switch on the
device. Consult the instructions for using the descaling agent with regard to the ratio of
water to descaling agent.
2. Let the mixture run through the machine completely. Repeat this procedure if the water still
runs through slowly.
3. After descaling, let water (without coffee) run through the device at least three times to flush
the pipes etc. Then, pour the water away.

Troubleshooting

If the device is not working properly, please check first of all whether you can rectify a problem
yourself. Otherwise you should contact the customer service department.
Do not attempt to repair a broken or damaged device yourself!
