15. USING THE WATER SOFTENER
The following instructions apply to the
water softener illustrated;
if your appliance is different, follow the
instructions supplied with the water
softener.
Calcium and magnesium contained in the water
circulating inside the boiler and the group head
circuits damage the machine. The function of the
softener is to dissolve the calcium and magnesium
and make them settle out on the resins contained
in the softener.
To prevent the build-up of deposits from
saturating the resins, and thereby limiting their
function, they should be regenerated at regular
intervals according to the following criteria:
• 8-litre softener for water with a hardness of 40
French degrees:
• up to 400 cups of coffee/day, every 10 days
• up to 800 cups of coffee/day, every 5 days
• up to 1000 cups of coffee/day, every 3 days
• 12-litre softener for water with a hardness of 40
French degrees:
• up to 500 cups of coffee/day, every 15 days
• up to 1000 cups of coffee/day, every 7 days
• up to 1500 cups of coffee/day, every 5 days
• up to 2000 cups of coffee/day, every 3 days
Delaying regeneration and therefore allowing
scale to build-up, may affect the thermal and
mechanical functions of the machine and the
taste of the coffee. To regenerate the resins
proceed as follows:

Place an empty container, having a capacity of at
least two litres, under the pipe (e), turn the levers
(c) and (d) to the right; unscrew the lid (g) and wait
for the water to drain completely from the hose
(e). Add 1.5 kg of cooking salt for the 8-litre model
or 2 kg of salt for the 12-litre model. Replace the
lid and turn the lever (c) from right to left; allow
the salted water drain from the hose (f) until the
water has become soft again (the cycle takes
approximately 90 minutes).

d Outlet tap
e Vacuum pipe
f Regeneration pipe
g Lid knob
Move the lever (d) from right to left.
• Do not use the machine during the regeneration
cycle. It is recommended to disconnect the
power supply to the pump, to prevent it
operating dry.
• Wash the resins before connecting the softener
to the machine by connecting to the water
supply and allowing the water to run for five
minutes.
16. SCRAPPING THE MACHINE
If you decide you no longer wish to use the
machine because of wear or for other reasons,
we recommend making it unusable by cutting the
power cable after having removed the plug from
the socket.
When scrapping the machine, we recommended
separating the various parts according to their
material (plastic, metal etc.). Then give the various
parts of the machine to specialised companies for
disposal.
