10.1 DESCALING THE APPLIANCE
Your appliance has a descaling program for the regular descaling of the appliance (duration
approx. 60 min.). If the indicator illuminates, you should run the descaling program as
described below.
Descaling can also be performed before the indicator illuminates by leaving the
appliance to cool down for 2 hours and pressing the button for approx. 3 seconds with
the appliance switched off. You can also continue to use your appliance and run the
descaling program later. However, you will endanger your rights to make a claim under the
guarantee, as the appliance (and thus also customer service) will detect overdue descaling!
Important: Only use liquid (not powdered), environmentally friendly descaler. Only use
descaler exactly as per the manufacturer’s instructions (ETNA no. 89011474). Do not use
any concentrated formic acid-based descaler.
-- Switch the appliance off using the on/off button
and leave it to cool down for at least 2 hours.
-- Fill the water tank with approx. 600 ml of water, only
then add 300 ml of liquid descaler (never the other
way round).
-- Press the button for approx. 3 seconds until the
following indicators illluminate: and .
-- Empty the spent coffee container and the drip catcher
and refit them. The indicator goes out. All 4 green
indicators flash, the indicator illuminates.
-- Place a sufficiently large container under the swivelling
nozzle.
Water is now pumped through the system at short intervals to release, with the aid of the
cleaning tablet, residues of coffee inside the machine.
-- If during the cleaning program the indicator illuminates, empty the drip catcher and
the spent coffee container, refit them and press the button.
The cleaning program is then continued.
This action may need to be repeated up to four times.
-- The cleaning program is at an end when the indicator illuminates. Flush the
appliance by pressing the button.
-- Then empty the spent coffee container and the drip catcher and refit them. The
appliance is ready for use again when the indicator illuminates.
If the drip tray plus bean container no longer fits after the cleaning process, you should
remove the bean container from the drip tray and replace only the drip tray in the
appliance. The spatula, with which the compressed spent coffee tablets are broken, will
then return to the correct position. Next remove the drip tray again. Replace the bean
container on the drip tray and place the assembly (drip tray + bean container) back in the
appliance.
If the action described above does not help, switch the appliance off using the on/off
switch . Wait a while and then switch the appliance back on. The settings will be reset
and you can replace the drip tray plus bean container in the appliance.
