3.11. Descaling the machine Depending on the hardness of your water supply and the frequency with
which the machine is used, the coffee machine should be descaled every
4 to 6 weeks. If your coffee becomes noticeably colder, or if it only runs out
slowly, this indicates that it is time for the equipment to be descaled.
To do this, you would be advised to use TURMIX Calco Clean (art. 11458) or
some other descaling agent for coffee machines that is standard in the trade.
It is essential to get the right concentration. Never use vinegar, as this could
damage the seals of the machine.
Descaling procedure:
1. Switch on the machine.
2. Place a sufficiently large vessel below the coffee dispensing outlet, and a
second one below the hot water nozzle.
3. Fill the water tank with 500 ml of cold water and 100 ml of Calco Clean.
4. Activate the coffee dispensing switch without inserting the sieve holder,
and let about half of the solution run through. Let the remainder run out
through the hot water nozzle into the second vessel.
5. Repeat this procedure with the same solution once more.
6. Rinse the water tank thoroughly with clean water, and fill it with fresh
water. Again place the vessels below the coffee dispensing outlet and the
hot water nozzle, and let half the water that is in the tank run out through
each in order to clean out the system.
7. Fill the water tank once more with fresh cold water.
8. Your machine is now ready to operate.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To descale the machine, you should only use products standard in the
trade that are recommended for use with coffee machines. Damage to
the machine that may be caused by scale deposits will not be covered
by the guarantee. Cleaning and maintenance operations other than those
described here should only be carried out by qualified persons.
