I need instructions on how to de-scale. - DeLonghi CC 80 Coffee Maker

Could need de-scaling. Scale builds up after time and reduces flow rates, increasing pressure leading to leaks. Give it a go with any generic de-scaling powder or liquid following the instructions. My coffee machine (different model) did similar and now works like new again.

If your brewer is not brewing the full amount selected, it may be caused by the following:

• The exit needle is clogged by coffee grounds or cocoa mix. Please refer to the K-Cup Holder cleaning instructions.
• The brewer may need to be de-scaled. Please refer to the de-scaling instructions.
• The removable water reservoir was removed during brewing. Place the water reservoir back onto the brewer and perform a cleansing brew without a K-Cup.

First try to make a descale maybe repeat it the next day.

Sorry to read about your issue.

you should have done whats below, it may need to be done twice...last but not least..you have to put more fresh water in to remove the taste

The brewer should be de-scaled at least every 3-6 months. Scale is harmless, but if left unattended, it can hinder optimal brewer performance. De-scaling your brewer regularly helps maintain the heating element, removable water reservoir and other parts of the brewer that come in contact with water. Better water quality and water heating means a better cup of coffee, tea, hot cocoa or iced beverage. We recommend de-scaling your brewer at least every 6 months (every 3 months if your water has a high mineral content). The de-scaling process involves using 48 ounces of undiluted white vinegar.

Take 48 oz of white vinegar. place in tank. pretend you are making coffee (Do No Use K Cup). let the water fill you mug. then empty that mug. Do it again until tank is empty. then let sit for 4 hours.
Then fill with fresh water to the top. let that tank of water run thru. towards the end taste the water.
If you taste vinegar..use more clean water, until the taste is ok.

I tried to help you. Please help me and Vote/Rate this response. Thanks and good luck

To de-scale anything in relation to water means to remove the mineral scale buildup on the walls or where ever. That's the usually white chalky stuff that you might see around nozzles etc. Follow yu manuals instructions to de-scale. Usually involving white vinegar, or possibly a product like CLR for removing minerals and rust stains. I AM NOT SAYING TO USE CLR IN YOUR MACHINE, just indicating an example of a product that manages mineral scale. Read the manual to do it correctly.

Hi,

I teied to find an answer for you and went to their website. Theys ay that the brewer needs to be descaled. The link below will bring you to thier site and I also pasted the excerpt below. It should still be under warranty too I think if you have only had it for six months. I pasted their number below.

De-Scaling Your Brewer:
Mineral content in water varies from place to place. Depending on the mineral content of the water in your area, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your Brewer. Scale is non-toxic, but left unattended, it can hinder Brewer performance. De-scaling your Brewer helps maintain the heating element and other internal parts of the Brewer that come in contact with water. The Brewer should be de-scaled every 3-6 months to ensure optimal performance or when there are white deposits in the Cold Water Reservoir. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to de-scale more often. Please reference your Brewer’s Owner’s Manual for specific de-scaling instructions.

Here is a site with a typical manual and descaling instructions near the end.

This will probably just need de-scaling. Buy some descaler and there should be instructions on the packet of how to de-scale an iron. Usually by warming the iron slightly, switching off, emptying out the water and then adding the diluted de-scaler to the iron and leaving it in an almost horizontal but raised position in a bowl or something so that some of the de-scaler will drain through. Then emptying out, re-filling with water and then iron something that you don't mind getting marked while any residue get's flushed out.

I was able to fix the problem after reading your post.

I had lost my manual and found a copy of the instruction manual online. http://www.espressoitalia.com.au/viewStory/Coffee%20Machine%20Manuals

I read the instructions for de-scaling (page 15) and followed it EXACTLY the way it instructed me to.

The entire process took roughly 2.5-3 hours. I set an alarm to remind me to re-dispense the solution again (for 15 seconds) every 10 minutes.

I'm not sure if you skipped a few steps(I did the first time I went through it). If anything, the trick might be to hold the hot water button for 6 seconds to disable the de-scaling alarm.

Your de-scaling alarm probably hasn't been de-activated. ( To make sure I held the hot water button for about 15 seconds)
