LIME & SCALE REMOVAL ROUTINE:

This procedure must be performed at least once every 3 months if an in-line filter (WTU) is not fitted - we HIGHLY recommend fitting a WTU - your warranty will be invalid if damage is caused by limescale.

The process takes about 40 minutes and should not be interrupted.  The benefits to this procedure are:

*It extends the life of the Bean to Cup machine

*It helps prevent malfunction of the machine.

If the removal of lime & scale is not done properly or regularly, lime residue can build up in the machine, which will generate waste (scale) that may lead to damage of the machine.

The process to remove the lime & scale should only be done with citric acid (Scalex or Everpure or similar).  Never use vinegar for this process.

Process:

1. In the water tank, pour over the contents of citric acid (100gr.) 2 litres of water (half a tank a water).
2. Press the programme button once and then press and hold for 3 seconds, this will enter the second level of programming.
3. Press button 3 and the process starts.
4. 350 m3 of water will pass through the hot water valve or through the chocolate valve (if no hot water valve fitted) ensure it is filled with fresh water) water should go from the entry of the mixer to the bucket.
5. The machine is heated to the programmed temperature and begins to make the following pulses.
6. When the flow meter reads the volume of 4 litres, the cycle finishes.
7. The tank must be cleaned with clean water. It then must be completely filled and the same cycle is repeated (steps 2 to 6 inclusive)
8. Repeat the previous step to make sure it has completely cleared the boiler and tubes. Clean the tank with clean water and run the steps 2 to 6 inclusive)
