16.6 Cleaning the IMPRESSA
After 200 draw-off operations or after 80 rinsing operations, the IM-
PRESSA must be cleaned. A message appears on the display, telling
you to start the cleaning programme. You can still draw off coffee or
hot water/steam. However, we recommend that you should clean the
machine (Chapter 17) within the next few days.

During operation, the machine will calcify. The degree of scaling de-
pends on the hardness of the water in your region. The machine will
inform you when descaling is required. You can still draw off coffee or
hot water/steam. However, we recommend that you should de-scale
the machine (Chapter 18) within the next few days.
