Descaling
Limescale deposits have an adverse effect not only on the quality of the espresso and the water,
but they also cause power losses and shorten the lifespan of the device. The thicker a limescale
layer is, the more diffi cult it is to remove.
We therefore recommend regularly removing limescale deposits with a descaling agent in
accordance with the water quality in your area and how often the device is used (approx. every
2 – 6 weeks).
The fi rst indications that descaling is required are a large amount of steam being produced and
slower brewing of the espresso.
The device indicates that it needs to be descaled at regular intervals! When the yellow
control lamp (22) is lit, a descaling process needs to be carried out. The control lamp goes
out as soon as a cleaning or descaling process has been carried out. This process may
require more than one water tankful. In this case, a measuring cup may need to be used to
add more water to the water tank (16) during the process until the yellow control lamp
goes out.
For descaling we recommend the BEEM Premium Descaler Concentrate. The effi cient, food-safe
and environmentally friendly BEEM Premium Descaler Concentrate is available from selected spe-
cialist stockists, via our website www.beem.de or from our customer service department on request.
Descaling with the BEEM Premium Descaler Concentrate
For careful descaling of the device, carry out the intensive clean with a concentrate/water
solution of no more than 1:20 (one part concentrate to 20 parts water) (see the "Self-
Cleaning" section – "Intensive Clean of the Portafi lter and Milk Tank System").
•
Then allow the descaling solution to take effect for a little while.
•
Repeat the process a second and third time if necessary.
•
Remove the rest of the solution from the water tank (16) and milk tank (6).
•
Fill both tanks with clear water. To rinse the device, run the same programme with clear water
at least two times. The device is now descaled and ready to be used again.
Storage
Disconnect the device from the mains power when it is not going to be used for a prolonged
period. Clean the device again if necessary (see the "Cleaning and Care" chapter) and let it dry
completely.
Store the device and all accessories in a dry, clean, frost-free place that is protected from direct
sunlight and cannot be accessed by children or animals.
