Animo MT200V+50241 [20/25] Descaling

01/2009 Rev. 3.0

6.2 Descaling

Scale deposits are left in the heating system when the appliance is used. The amount of

scaling depends on the hardness of the water being used. The appliance is fitted with

a descale indicator light (5.2), which lights up when the heating system has processed

a certain quantity of water and has to be descaled. The appliance continues to work so

that it can be descaled when it is not being used.

1. Before descaling the appliance, carefully read the instructions for use on the

descaling agent. We advise you to use the tried and tested Animo descaling agent.

2. Slide an empty basket filter (3) and place an empty jug under it.

3. Remove the cap (8) and place the funnel (supplied) into the descaling opening.

4. Dissolve one 50 gram sachet of Animo descaling agent in 0.5 litre of warm water

 (approx.60-70˚C).

5. Carefully pour half of the solution into the descaling opening (8) using the funnel

6. Switch on the appliance using the switch (1). Select 2 cups using the selection

button (5.4) and press the start/stop button (5.5). The solution will now run through

the heating system and discharge into the jug.

7. Wait until the ‘coffee ready’ signal sounds. The solution will now react with the

deposit in the heating system.

8. After the waiting time, repeat points 5 and 6.

9. Wash away the solution in the jug once the filter has finished dripping.

10. Remove the funnel and replace the cap.

11. After descaling the appliance, flush the system by following the coffee making

procedure twice but without using filter paper or coffee. Remember to empty the jug

in the mean time.

12. Switch off the appliance and thoroughly clean the basket filter and the jug.

13. The appliance is now ready for use.

6.2.1 Switching-off the descale indicator light

1. Press the selection button (5.4) for 6 seconds; the descale indicator light (5.2)

will go out.

2. The control system resumes registering the number of brewing processes.
