Descaling your Essse S.12
Are you looking to maintain the quality of your Essse S.12 Espresso Coffee Maker and prolong its lifespan? Descaling is a crucial maintenance task that should be done every 6 months or after 600 uses. Let's dive into everything you need to know about descaling your beloved coffee maker.
When to Descale
It is recommended to descale your Essse S.12 Espresso Coffee Maker every 6 months or after 600 uses. The machine may indicate the need for descaling by displaying an alarm, typically with buttons 2/3 blinking in a blue color. Once the descaling process is completed, the alarm will stop, only to reappear after another 600 uses.
Choosing the Right Descaler
When performing the descaling operation, it is crucial to use a descaler specifically designed for espresso machines. Make sure to carefully read and follow the safety instructions provided by the descaler manufacturer. Avoid any contact with your eyes, skin, or surrounding surfaces during the descaling process.
Descaling Process
Begin the descaling process by filling the water tank of your Essse S.12 Espresso Coffee Maker with the recommended descaling solution. Follow the machine's instructions to initiate the descaling cycle. Allow the solution to run through the machine, ensuring that all components are thoroughly descaled.
Once the descaling cycle is complete, rinse the water tank and run a few cycles of clean water through the machine to remove any residual descaling solution. This step is crucial to prevent any lingering taste of the descaler in your future brews.
