What to do if the descaling procedure is interrupted
You can exit the descaling procedure by pressing the on/off button on the control panel. If the
descaling procedure is interrupted before it is completely finished, do the following:
1 Empty and rinse the water tank thoroughly.
2 Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the Calc / Clean level indication and switch the machine
back on. The machine will heat up and perform an automatic rinsing cycle.
3 Before brewing any drinks, perform a manual rinsing cycle. To perform a manual rinsing cycle, first
dispense half a water tank of hot water by repeatedly tapping the hot water icon (Fig. 14) and then
brew 2 cups of pre-ground coffee without adding ground coffee.
If the descaling procedure was not completed, the machine will require another descaling
procedure as soon as possible.
