EN Cleaning and maintenance • Refit the service door (8) making sure it is correctly positioned. Do not wash the brewing group in the dishwasher in order not to damage it permanently. Descaling The coffee machine signals when it is necessary to carry out a descaling cycle based on the set water hardness (For the setting of the water hardness, see the "Machine Settings" paragraph). If the LED (25) lights up steadily, it means that a descaling cycle is necessary, so as not to alter the taste of the coffee and damage the machine. However, coffee and further drinks may continue to be dispensed for a limited number of cycles. If the LED (25) flashes, it means that a descaling cycle is mandatory to proceed with further dispensing of drinks. To carry out a descaling cycle, proceed as follows: • Place a container with a capacity of at least 1,4 l under the dispenser (11). • Make sure that the Primary program with white illuminated keys is selected. • Fill the tank (5), up to the "MAX" level, with a solution of water and descaler in the doses recommended by the manufacturer. • With the machine ready for use, press the keys (20) and (18) simultaneously for at least 3 seconds. The key (18) flashes with an orange light and the LED (25) has a fixed light for the entire duration of the descaling cycle, which has duration of several minutes. • The descaling cycle ends when the solution contained in the tank (5) is finished, the key (18) and the LEDs (21) and (25) light up fixed. • During the descaling cycle, the machine will take a few breaks to allow the descaler to act effectively. Wait for the end of the cycle. • Pour clean water into the tank (5) up to the "MAX" level to carry out the rinse cycle, then press the button (18) to start the rinse cycle, the button (18) flashes and the LED (25) lights up steadily for the entire duration of the washing cycle. • When the tank (5) is empty, the rinse cycle is finished. • The keys light up in white. If, at the end of the descaling process, the LED (25) remains permanently lit, it indicates that a new descaling cycle must be carried out since the quantity of descaling solution that was used was insufficient for complete cleaning. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative. "Empty system" procedure The 'Empty system' procedure is recommended before long periods of non-use and before consulting a maintenance manager. • Activate the procedure by holding down the key (16) and the key (19) simultaneously for three seconds, the key (17) and the key (19) flash simultaneously.
