Cleaning the Outer Housing
The outer housing and LCD screen can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Apply cleanser
to the cloth and not the LCD surface. Polish with a soft, dry cloth. Cleaning and drying with
dry paper towels or abrasive cloths and cleaners may scratch the surface.
Removing Calcium Build-Up
Your coffee machine may experience build-up from calcium and minerals contained in your
water. This ‘scale’ or mineral build-up will affect the machine’s performance and coffee qua-
lity. It is critical that scale build-up, so it has to be removed frequently.
If there is an excessive mineral build-up, the LCD screen will display ‘DE-SCALE’.
TIME NOW
Please use for decalcifying only the Gastroback Premium Descaler (Art. No.: 98175). This
Descaler contains special metal gentle additives and is matched to the components used in
our machines. We recommend a mixture of 150 ml of ›Gastroback Premium Descaler‹ and
max. 1600 ml of water. Due to the differences of water hardness and we can not make any
precise specifications on the frequency on the decalcifying. The following table is a non-
binding recommendation and is for guidance only.
hardness range recommended frequency litre or weeks
mild
(to 1,5 mmol/l) every 120 Liter every 10 to 14 Wochen
medium
(from 1,5 to 2,5 mmol/l)
every 90 Liter every 4 to 8 Wochen
hard
(up to 2,5 mmol/l) every 60 Liter every 2 to 4 weeks or
