Descaling the Espresso Machine

Preparing for the Cycle

Remove the water filter and fill the water tank to 2.5 L. Add the descaling solution and follow the instructions on the package for the correct ratio. Only use descaling solutions intended for Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines.

Cleaning

1. Place two containers (~ 887 ml each), one under the Group Head and Water Spout and the other under the Steam Wand. Press the Brew Start/Stop Button to begin the cleaning cycle. The descaling process will run continuously, dispensing water through the group head, the water spout, and the steam wand.

2. The unit will start preheating once the cleaning is complete, and the heating light will blink. When preheating is complete, the heating light will stay on, and the Clean Cycle Button will blink, indicating that it's ready to start the next phase of the cleaning cycle.

3. Empty, rinse, and thoroughly clean the Water Tank.

Rinsing

1. Replace the water filter and fill the Water Tank to the 2.5 L mark. Place the same two containers under the Group Head and Steam Wand. Press and hold the Clean Cycle Button for 3 seconds until the Clean Cycle Button LED light stays solid. The Brew Start/Stop Button will flash. Press the Brew Start/Stop Button to start the rinse cycle.

2. When the second rinse cycle is complete, both the Brew Start/Stop Button and Clean Cycle Buttons will blink simultaneously. Press any button to exit the cycle.

Now, you can get on with making your next espresso!

Additional Information

• You can pause the descaling cycle anytime by pressing the Brew Start/Stop Button. Then, press the Brew Start/Stop Button again to resume the cycle. 
• If the cycle is interrupted (for example, running out of water, a power outage, etc.), the cleaning cycle will reset and start from the beginning. 
• It is not recommended that vinegar be used because it has less descaling effect than proper descaling solutions, and the life cycle of the product could be impacted.
