Tip & How-To about Thermador Coffee Makers & Espresso Machines

EMPTY TRAYS!!

This just came up on our Thermador Savor built in coffee maker. I put descale in tank but accidentally pushed Clean button, rather than Calcif!! So I hit the off button...but it stayed lit green...and EMPTY TRAYS would not stop!! The trays were empty!! And I could not hit the on off button...it stayed lit green and EMPTY TRAYS continued. I had rinsed contacts, even. I can't find original answer in here right now...but I thoroughly wiped the contacts that are in the back of the tray...but there are contacts in the "front" as well. DUH! They are on the sides of front of tray. Wiped them down..lo and behold, EMPTY TRAYS went away, and now I am descaling the machine!! Oh, I also do the clean/calcif myself monthly, and I don't wait for the machine to tell me! I received this advice from foxy also. Life is good again!! Thanks FIXYA!!

my maker keeps on saying descale. but how do i do it.

17.3 Descale
Over time, the continuous heating up of the water used to make the coffee leads to lime scale building up in
the inner circuits of the appliance.
When the message:
DESCALE
flashes on the display, you should perform the descale cycle.
Proceed as follows:
• make sure the appliance is ready.
• press the P button (the light over the button comes on) then press the button repeatedly until the
appliance displays:
DESCALE No
• Press the button (corresponding to the SET symbol flashing on the display) and the appliance will
display:
DESCALE YES
• Press the OK button to start the descale programme.
• Empty the tank and pour in the contents of one bottle (125 ml) of DURGOL descaler plus one litre of
water.
For subsequent descaling, use descaler of the same type and brand as supplied (available from technical
service centres authorised by the manufacturer).
• attach the water spout to the nozzle;
• place a container with a minimum capacity of 1.5 litres under the hot water spout (Fig. 3);
34 C o l l e c t i o n
• press the OK button.Descaler runs off from the hot water spout into the container below.
The appliance displays:
APPLIANCE IN DESCALE
• the descale programme automatically performs a series of run offs and pauses to remove lime scale
deposits from inside the coffee maker.
• After about 30 minutes, the appliance displays:
RINSING FILL TANK
The appliance must now be rinsed through to eliminate residues of descaling solution from inside the appliance.
Proceed as follows:
• empty the water tank, rinse and fill with clean water.
• Reposition the tank.
• Empty the full container and then put it back under the hot water spout.
• Press the OK button. Hot water is run off from the spout into the container below and the appliance displays:
RINSING
• When the water tank is empty, the appliance displays the message:
RINSING COMPLETE PRESS OK
• Press the OK button and refill the water tank with clean water.
• The descale programme is now terminated and the appliance is ready to make coffee again.
