Your coffee machine will retain its
high quality longer if you descale
regularly.
Your CafeFresco comes with an
automatic descaling reminder
function. After 800 cups of coffee
have been brewed, in German
„Entkalken“ (“Descale”) appears
in the display. Follow the steps as
indicated. If the descaling re -
minder has not appeared after
3 months:
We recommend that, as a pre -
caution, you descale your machine
every 3 months. (If you have pur-
chased a reusable gold tone filter
please remove it from the filter
holder before descaling.)
Only use ecological descaling
agents for descaling and follow
the instructions provided by the
manufacturer. Never use descaling
agents based on concentrated
formic acid and ideally no agents
in powder form. Never use vinegar
or acetic acid based agents for
descaling. Use standard liquid
products recommended for use on
coffee machines.
Descaling procedure:
➔ Fill the water reservoir with
water, then add the descaling
agent – never the other way round!
➔ Set the thermos jug on the base
and leave the descaling agents for
about 15 minutes, then turn on
the machine.
➔ Start the cycle by pressing the
On / Off button (fig. 1/J). When all
the descaling agent has run
through, turn the machine off
again.
➔ Repeat if necessary. For each
descaling cycle, however, perform
at least two subsequent cycles
with clean water only.
Rinse the coffee jug, coffee jug lid
and filter holder thoroughly under
running water after the descaling
operation. Remember to actuate
the anti-drip valve several times.
