CLEAN level (Fig. 42). Then place it back into the machine and press the OK button to confirm.

7 The first phase of the descaling procedure starts. The descaling procedure lasts approx. 30 minutes

and consists of a descaling cycle and a rinsing cycle.

8 Let the machine dispense the descaling solution until the display reminds you that the water tank

is empty.

9 Empty the water tank, rinse it and then refill it with fresh water up to the CALC CLEAN level

indication.

12 The second phase of the descaling cycle, the rinsing phase, starts and lasts 3 minutes. The display

13 Wait until the machine stops dispensing water. The descaling procedure is finished when the tick

appears on the display.

14 Press the OK button to exit the descaling cycle. The machine starts heating up and performs the

automatic rinsing cycle.

15 Clean the milk carafe after descaling (see 'Weekly cleaning of the milk carafe').

16 Clean the brew group after descaling (see 'Cleaning the brew group under the tap').

17 Place a new AquaClean filter in the water tank.

Tip: Using the AquaClean filter reduces the need for descaling!

What to do if the descaling procedure is interrupted

You can exit the descaling procedure by pressing the on/off button on the control panel. If the

descaling procedure is interrupted before it is completely finished, do the following:

1 Empty and rinse the water tank thoroughly.

2 Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the CALC CLEAN level indication and switch the machine

back on. The machine will heat up and perform an automatic rinsing cycle.

3 Before brewing any drinks, perform a manual rinsing cycle. To perform a manual rinsing cycle, first

dispense half a water tank of hot water and then brew 2 cups of pre-ground coffee without adding

ground coffee.

Note: If the descaling procedure was not completed, the machine will require another descaling

procedure as soon as possible.
