The usual way is to put the solution into the tank at the required strentgh (usually on the packet/bottle) and run it through the machine as if you were making espresso. Once all the solution has gone through run three more tanks of fresh water through to clean it out.

    If the water has stopped coming through then it will almost certainly be scale. The Evoultion has a recessed brewhead and it can be prone to scale. The only way to fix it is to remove the brewhead. Not that difficult though. You first need to remove the portafilter (bit coffee goes in). You can then see the brewhead. It will have a hole in the middle and two holes either side. The two holes are hex head screws. If you remove the screws the head will come off. You might find though that the head will be stuck on and will need help to come off. I have had to use a make shift puller before made from a few bolts. Once off the scale will be found on the reverse of the bit you can see. Clean it all off and then put it back together.



    Hope that helps.

While decalcifying the water comes out of the frother in intervals as it should but it does not come out of the spouts.

I have 3 different coffee machines and all 3 are descaling like you said using only the froter so that is normal .... Unless you misstyped the question

Hi
I am assuming that you have a digital machine. If so, you have to go into the menu and go to "Reset Descale", push the enter button and choose "Yes" and push the button again. Then you can exit the menu and it should be gone.

What does Decalcify mean?

You can download the manual for free. Search for the manual.

If you want to decalcify, then you need to get decalcifying solution. The button with two circles is the decalcify mode. Press that, and the unit will go through it's automatic decalcify. There is a specific procedure to best decalcify superautomatic machines. Please search for that.

After this is done, the decalcify message will not appear. It is on a preset schedule, not an actual measurement of how much scale is in the machine.

Although you don't have to decalcify, it is recommended, especially if you live in an area with hard water.
