How should you decalcify your espresso machine?

With durgol
swiss espresso
, decalcification of your espresso machine is simple and safe.

Please follow the manufacturers directions for decalcification and rinsing. Remove the water filter
(if available) before decalcification and rinsing and reinsert it afterwards.
Decalcification and rinsing of machines with an automatic decalcification program.
1. Put 1 single-portion bottle (4.2 fl.oz./125 ml) of durgol
swiss espresso
into the water tank.

2. Dilute the decalcifier with tap water according to the manufacturers instructions. Start the decal-
cification program. If no dilution instructions are given, add tap water to the water tank until the
automatic program can be started.
3. Catch the water in a glass or plastic container that is large enough to prevent splashing as it flows out
of the machine.
Be careful the liquid can be hot!
4. Rinse the machine with tap water according to manufacturers guidelines.
5. Now you are ready to enjoy your next perfect cup of espresso.
Decalcification and rinsing of machines without an automatic decalcification program.
1. Put 1 single-portion bottle (4.2 fl.oz./125 ml) of durgol
swiss espresso
into the water tank.

2. Dilute the decalcifier with the same amount of tap water. (Use the empty package to measure.)
3. Let this solution run through the coffee dispenser. If you are not able to start the machine with
this amount of liquid, continue filling the water tank until you can. There should be approximately
16.8 fl.oz./0.5 L in the tank.
Please take note of the advice in the next section.
4. Catch the water in a glass or plastic container that is large enough to prevent splashing as it flows out
of the machine.
Be careful the liquid is hot!
5. After decalcification, rinse the water tank with tap water. Finally, rinse the machine
by running 12 tankfuls of tap water through it.
6. Now you are ready to enjoy your next perfect cup of espresso.
Please note the following for machines without an automatic decalcification program.
If the manufacturers instructions advise waiting some amount of time for the decalcification reaction
to work, you can disregard that advice because durgol
swiss espresso
works much more quickly and

effectively than conventional decalcifiers.
If your machine works with whole bean coffee (i.e. contains a grinder), decalcify only the hot water
discharge system so that the brewing system is not decalcified.
If your machine works with capsules, coffee pads or ground coffee (i. e. does not contain a
grinder) and has two dispensers (one for hot water and one for coffee), first decalcify the coffee
system and dispenser, and then put the solution back into the water tank and decalcify the
hot water system and dispenser (do not activate the steam function).

Decalcifying electric water heaters and tea kettles.
durgol
swiss espresso
is also recommended for decalcifying water heaters/tea kettles. Unplug the

appliance and let cool. Simply put 1 single-portion bottle (4.2 fl.oz./125 ml) of durgol
swiss espresso

into the water heater/tea kettle. The intensity of this reaction is evidenced by the bubbling action.
durgol
swiss espresso
is finished with the decalcification when bubbling action subsides (it will only
take a few minutes). If there are still lime deposits on the water heaters walls, simply fill the heater/
kettle with tap water to cover all the deposits and wait 15 minutes. Then rinse the heater/kettle well
with tap water.
Do not turn on the water heater during decalcification.
Do not heat the tea kettle during decalcification.
General advice
Thorough decalcification of your espresso machine will only be achieved by using a complete 4.2 fl.oz./
125ml single-portion bottle of durgol
swiss espresso
for each decalcification. Commercial espresso

machines with water tanks larger than 51 fl.oz./1.5 L may require two single-portion bottles of durgol

swiss espresso
per decalcification.
