performed automatically to remove all the scale residues
inside the coffee machine;
After about 25 minutes, descaling stops;
8. "RINSE AND FILL WATER TANK UP TO MAX LEVEL" (fig. 5):
the appliance is now ready to rinse with fresh water. Empty
the container used to collect the descaler solution. Extract
the water tank, empty, rinse under running water, fill
with fresh water up to the MAX level and put back in the
appliance;
9. "POSITION 2l CONTAINER PRESS OK TO START RINSING":
Place the container used to collect the descaler solution
empty under the brewing unit and hot water/steam spout
(fig. 8) and press the selection arrow corresponding to "
OK";
10 Hot water is delivered first from the brewing unit, then
from the hot water/steam spout and "RINSING UNDER-
WAY" is displayed;
11. When the water in the tank has run out, empty the con-
tainer used to collect the rinsing water;
12. (If the filter is installed) "INSERT FILTER INTO ITS HOUSING"
(fig. 40). Press "NEXT>" and extract the water tank. Re-
place the water softener filter if removed previously;
13. "RINSE AND FILL WATER TANK UP TO MAX LEVEL" (fig. 5): Fill
the tank up to the MAX level with fresh water;
14. "INSERT WATER TANK" (fig. 6): Put the water tank back in
the appliance;
15. "POSITION 2l CONTAINER PRESS OK TO START RINSING":
Place the container used to collect the descaler solution
empty under the hot water/steam spout (fig. 8) and press
" OK";
16. Hot water is delivered from the hot water/steam spout and
"RINSING UNDERWAY" is displayed;

17. "EMPTY DRIP TRAY" (fig. 39): At the end of the second
rinse, remove, empty and replace the drip tray (A14) and
grounds container (A10). Press "NEXT>";
18. "DESCALE COMPLETE": press " OK";
19. "FILL TANK WITH FRESH WATER": empty the container
used to collect the rinse water, remove the water tank and
fill with fresh water up to the MAX level, then put back in
the appliance.
Descaling is complete.
Please note!
•
If the descaling cycle is not completed correctly (e.g. no
electricity) we recommend repeating the cycle;
•
After descaling, it is normal for the grounds container
(A10) to contain water.
•
If the water tank has not been filled to the MAX level, at
the end of descaling, the appliance requests a third rinse to
guarantee that the descaler solution has been complete-
ly eliminated from the machine's internal circuits. Before
starting rinsing, remember to empty the drip tray;
•
The appliance may request descaling cycles at very short
intervals. This is normal and due to the appliance's ad-
vanced control system.

SETTING WATER HARDNESS
You can set the water hardness level on your machine de-
pending on the water hardness level specific of your area. The
machine is set up by default at level 4. To measure the water
hardness of your area proceed as follows (section "16.1 Measur-
ing water hardness"). Setting the correct water hardness level
on your machine guarantees the correct frequency of descaling.
Softer water hardness levels require less frequent descaling.
16.1 Measuring water hardness
1. Remove the "TOTAL HARDNESS TEST" indicator paper (C1)
from its pack (attached to the English instructions).
2. Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for one
second.
3. Remove the paper from the water and shake lightly. After
about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares form, depending
on the hardness of the water. Each square corresponds to
one level.
soft water
LEV.1
slightly hard water
LEV.2
hard water
LEV.3
very hard water
LEV.4
