Decalcifying
• After regular use, hard water can cause mineral
build up in and on many of the inner functioning
components, reducing the brewing flow, power
of the machine, and affecting the quality of
coffee.
• We advise decalcifying the machine on a regular
basis (every 2–3 months) using a proprietary
descaler (Solipol) which is available from most
leading supermarkets, department stores and
hardware stores or Solismail (www.solis-mail.ch).
Follow the instructions provided.
Decalcifying the Machine
• Ensure the Selector Control is in the ‘Standby’
position, the POWER button is in the ‘Off’
position and the machine is switched off at the
power outlet and unplugged.
• Remove the filter holder and frothing
attachment. Pour the mixture of discaler and
water into the water tank.
(0.5 Litres Solipol and 0.75 Litres of water)
• Plug the machine into the power outlet.
• Press the POWER button to the ‘On’ position.
• Place a large container under the group head,
steam wand and hot water wand.
• When the brewing temperature has been
reached all the button surrounds on the Control
Panel will illuminate. Press and hold the single
or double cup button to commence manual pour.
Release the button once half the mixture of
discaler and water has run through the group
head.
• Set the Selector Control to the ‘STEAM’ position
and allow steam to run through the Steam Wand
for approximately 2 minutes. Return the Selector
Control back to the ‘Standby’ position.
• Set the Selector Control to the ‘HOT WATER’
position and allow the remaining liquid to run
through the hot water wand. When the liquid
stops flowing, set the Selector Control back to
‘Standby’ position.
• After decalcifying, remove the water tank and
rinse thoroughly then re-fill with fresh cold water.
To rinse the machine, repeat previous steps.
WARNING:
Do not immerse cord, plug or appliance in water or any other liquid.
The water tank should never be removed or completely emptied during decalcifying.
